Title: Russia banned from ALL global sport
Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Monday, December 9, 2019, 11:31:03
At long last! Cheating fuckers missing the next Olympics and World Cup.

All dependent on an appeal, no doubt.

Even if the appeal/massive bribery fails, at least in athletics, they'll just do what they did last time and enter the athletes as indviduals

I'm sure this will lead to a period of quiet self-reflection and contrition from major Russian figures, and in no way entrench their existing opinions and paranoia.

'Despite the ban, Russia will be able to compete at Euro 2020 - in which St Petersburg will be a host city - as European football's governing body Uefa is not defined as a 'major event organisation' with regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches.'

Sounds as though the punishment is going to be implemented as rigidly as if it was imposed by the English  FA !!.
