DISINFO: The ban imposed by the IOC on Russia's participation in the Winter Olympics 2018 is a war against Russia

SUMMARY

The ban imposed by the IOC on Russia’s participation in the Winter Olympics 2018 is a war against Russia on all fronts.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. It was the systematic state sponsored doping program in Russia that made the IOC decide this www.olympic.org/news/ioc-suspends-russian-noc-and-creates-a-path-for-clean-individual-athletes-to-compete-in-pyeongchang-2018-under-the-olympic-flag, . Russian athletes not convicted of doping will be allowed to compete under Olympic flag. According to the rules of the IOC, any attempt to blockade or blackmail the Olympics means the exclusion from participation in the Games for up to 8 years, so using this "opportunity" would lead to consequences.
