Banning Russians from the 2024 Olympics is needed if the free world is to remain credible amid Putin’s genocidal war.
The Session of the International Olympic Committee meeting in Lima, Peru, elected Paris as the host city of the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad 2024 and Los Angeles as the host city of the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad 2028.
So far 35 countries are backing the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Olympic Games
This is disheartening and disappointing. Russians should not be taking part in the Olympics. They not only cheat and lie, but the world court has proved that Putin is a global pariah.
If they are allowed to participate this will be a disgusting decision that will have far-reaching consequences for the international order. Their potential participation doesn’t bode well for the world’s democratic future.
Russia must be banned from the International Games for Putin’s mounting global war crimes.
Russian participation in the Olympics is a stepping stone to imperial aggression
The Olympics will be used to provoke Ukraine and the world
A sign that rogue empires are privileged
It taints the reputation of the Games
Will dent the hopes of freedom-loving people
Will damage the free world’s credibility
