Russia has been banned from competing at next year's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang by the International Olympic Committee.

But Russian athletes who can prove they are clean would be allowed to compete in South Korea under a neutral flag.

It follows an investigation into allegations of state-sponsored doping at the 2014 Games hosted by Russia in Sochi.





Haven't seen a tweet from Drumpf as of yet. Will he blast the IOC on this??

1. This should get a rise out of Lord Littlehands

He must defend the honor of Mother Russia!

2. Trump calls for Russia to be reinstated to 2018 Olympics...

says Russian doping is fake news and the IOC is bad and sad

just kidding, but it would not be a surprise

3. sounds like the response

tRump is becoming very predictable in these cases.

4. It's official

The IOC (one of the most corrupt organizations in history) has a stronger moral compass than the Republicans when it comes to holding the Russians responsible for cheating.
