Cowards!
So they admit it’s a message of remembrance but still disqualify it…
IOC is just proving more and more they’re nothing but political money shills and stand in nothing resembling the Olympic message.
russia is still participating in the Olympics, just in a different way.
Let russia compete and ban the victims. Thats the spirit. Like 1936.
So if your Frinds are killed by Russians u cant honor them, got it thanks Olympia for showing everyone what a shit show u are. Have fun with ure Doping festival
I haven’t watched a single minute of olympics this year. And not likely to watch any.
and soon whe read that the IOC give a peace price to Putin
The IOC will always suck up to the authoritarians on this planet. They never did not. All while taking 96% of the profits and leaving only 4% for the athletes.
I have not watched a single minute of this travesty this year and never ever will. The IOC and FIFA can both go fu*% themselves.
Just another reason to skip the Olympics.
A tribute to your deceased mates isnt anything sportspeople should be banned for. The fact they are only dead because they were murdered by another invading country only makes the ban more egregious.
Fuck em, IOC corrupt to the core.
If remembering fallen friends and fellow sportsmen is political. I’m all for getting political.
What a weak decision by the IOC.
He was disqualified because his helmet will offend… Who? Russian fascists? Srsly?
