Thank you, Finland for setting an example! Slava Ukraini!

Sure would be nice to see other nations make the correct choice as well.

Russia goes and dopes and cheats and is welcomed back each year. Shame

It gives an impression of corruption amongst all of the various sporting events. With football and Olympics the corruption is highly obvious. It weakens the worth of a medal if cheating is handled lightly.

i’m sorry, i was told this is a purely American imperialist proxy war. who do Finland think they are, getting involved here?
