    Forget neutral flags, they should be banned. Heck, Russia should be banned for doping, regardless of the war.

      I have to wonder if Russia has ever really won a medal without cheating?

      They’ve been caught cheating at the paralympics also. What’s next, the special olympics?

      I thought Russia was still banned for doping.

        The competed as the Russian Olympic Committee. But I believe the ban was only 4 years, and they get to be Russia again next year.
