    Wasn’t Russia banned for cheating at the Olympics? I.e, punished w/in the context of the Games for their unethical actions also within the context of the Games - not for their warmongering or oppression or human rights abuses.

      It looks like warmongering actually played a part in this year’s decision:

      The sanctions against those responsible for the war, the Russian and Belarusian states and governments, remain in place for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This means, in particular, that:

      No flag, anthem, colours or any other identifications whatsoever of Russia or Belarus will be displayed at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in any official venue or any official function.

      No Russian or Belarusian government or state officials will be invited to or accredited for the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
