[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1086516, member: 73592"] We talked about it with other sports (rugby & F1). It's awkward, and I'm not convinced that there's a "right" answer. I'm against banning sportspeople who aren't representing Russia (eg, a few rugby players representing their club in UK / Fra) I'm in favour of banning sportspeople who are representing Russia (eg, the Russian national team) Somewhere in between, you've got the likes of individual sports like tennis, golf, or F1*, where they're representing only themselves, but have the national flag next to their name, and contantly discussed. I just don't have a good answer for that - best I can come up with is if they ask to be acknowledged as having neutral nationality, or something like that. But anything here will be controversial. *There was much more in it for the F1 driver, son of an oligarch who also pays for his ride IIRC. [/QUOTE]
