Russian Spies at Paris Olympics: Athletes Break Neutrality Rules

The International Olympic Committee has approved 15 Russian and 16 Belarusian athletes for the Paris Olympics under neutral status. However, 17 athletes violated neutrality rules, prompting calls for their suspension. Ukraine has pushed for these suspensions, and France has banned nearly 100 individuals from Russia and Belarus over security concerns. Despite the ongoing war, Ukraine will be represented by 147 resilient athletes. Join us to explore the controversies and heightened security surrounding the Olympic Games.

But but but . . . the officials said that sports is totally unpolitical, that all the corruption has been dealt with, and that doping is impossible . . . and they're definately not lying this time . . .
The olympic games have been corrupted since 1936, and the officials simply don't care because of the nice gift baskets and inconspicuous envelopes full of money. Human rights won't buy you a sports car or a mansion in the swiss alps.

Why should israel be allowed to participate but not russia why could the us participate after the Iraq war. Mixing sport and politics is stupid in all cases

[keithdoyle]

It's an absolute disgrace - the olympics should be universally boycotted .

[Kodakcompactdisc]

They shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the Olympics.

[thisaradilshan]

What about US invasion Iraq, what about Israel ? Olympic should be free of politics, should have let Russians to participate under their own flag, shame on Olympic games.

[JamesGraham-fy]

The only good thing about the Olympics, was hearing Celine Dion sing

[scottmorin]

Russia should not be allowed in the Olympic Games. I personally will not watch any games because they are allowed.

[ellemars]

No terrorist country should compete. Putin should hold the Orclimpics... invite Belarus, N. Korea and Hungry since Orban loves Putin so much.

[dawnfreedom]

that is a big mistake! no russian nor belarus should be allowed to participate at the Olimpic games....shame on them!

[jansenart]

This is important information. All the athletes from Russia, Belarus, and even Hungary and Serbia must be exposed for any Russian sympathies.

[Pacific]

Majority of people around the World have much bigger problems than watching this stupid Olympics, tens of thousands of tickets have not even been sold. The olympics has completely lost its meaning and spirit as well. A nice thumb down for this very stupid video as well ....

Question: if athletes from one warmongering country - Russia - are rightfully banned from the Olympics, why are athletes from another warmongering country - Israel - not similarly banned.

[brianhampson]

Nobody with a Russian passport should be allowed to travel freely, in the free world.

[tomschi]

Most of these athletes are also soldiers and are financed by the military. But the IOC loves money and that's why these corrupt decisions are made. But the real shame is the athletes ALL TOGETHER. *Imagine that: At every start in Paris where Russian or athletes from countries like China who support Russia's mass murder are involved, all athletes refuse to compete. The IOC would react by the third discipline at the latest. But because ALL athletes are corrupt (as can be seen from the games in Russia and China), * they don't care about human rights and their own success is a million times more important.

[anandmaster]

Israel also invaded Palestine.then Isreal also participating. 🇷🇺 and Be🇧🇾 also have right to participate freely.

[jontus]

No russians or belarussiians in the Olympics!

[realitycheck]

People are saying shouldnt mix politics and sport but if it is proven that Russia is involved in sabotage in Paris then Poohtin is doing exactly that. Sport has so much following but i think the athletes should be able to have their own opinion and say it out loud and be judged on that without being scared their government will arrest them or worse. If they support the invasion and threats on the west then what are they even doing coming to a western country. My policy with regards to sports is to support my own country first and if we are not involved then anyone apart from Russia, Belarus and open supporters of the SMO.

[wyy]

Don't look at human talent, politics is politics, then it's not fair, why is ISARAEL genocide in Palestine Gaza hundreds of thousands of civilians die can participate in the Olympics, it's not fair

[realitycheck]

Finally I doubt very much any western country would ever sabotage the Olympic Games in any country it was being held in and if Russia is proved to be involved in this then the consequences should come thick and fast in my opinion. This is just disgusting behaviour and doesn't surprise me at all coming from You know who. If the athletes had any guts they would just boycott the event if they are too scared to speak out and if they do side with their countries attack then don't have any involvement with the West. Simple as that really

[haydonditchburn]

Well Mr Wayne Jordash, just make sure that the same rules that you are insisting on, are applied to Israel also. Israel has committed far more Human Rights violations and atrocities than either Russia or Belarus together. If you are insisting on the application of a ruling, then it should be applied evenly and to all, not sugar picked to your taste or fancy.
