I don't think that's fair to the athletes. They have all worked super hard to make it to the olympics and they shouldn't be banned because of their birthplace.

They are not allowed to represent their birthplace because the birthplace actively financing and supporting systematic doping. That is not the same as they are being banned.

I have no understanding for why you want to represent that.

Why should doping even be illegal? You sound a lot like chuds talking about trans athletes

Competition will never be perfectly fair, Michael Phelps is a genetic freak who's just better at swimming than most people due to his insane lung capacity but he's still allowed to compete

To be fair doping is literally cheating and causing further damage to already exploited athletes, where as being trans just makes you cool as hell
