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.
