[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 3147830, member: 26611"] I assume you're talking about the gymnast? It seems a little weird to punish every Russian athlete who competes internationally because of one jackass. Plus--and I rarely get to say this--tennis is a much higher profile sport. If someone capable of winning multiple matches at Wimbledon was likely to do something similar, it would probably be known by now. They all keep social media profiles and have been talking to the media every week since it happened. Rublev has already come out against the war. If a player actually does something that warrants punishment, you can always punish them after the fact. I agree the sponsors could make it difficult, which is why I speculated that it was the root of the issue. But this seems really short sighted. In pretty much every sport, organizers face some tension between pleasing fans, athletes, and sponsors. But this seems extremely unfair to the athletes, not good at all for the fans, and for what? To spare the sponsors from a 1 in a 1000 chance of getting embarrassed? [/QUOTE]
