    Well the question is also why russians and belorussians are allowed to compete too? They will pose as “neutral” or from other countries, despite the fact that many of them are members of russian military.

      Is that a question with Israel competing? The question has become why Russian soldiers are not allowed to compete using their own flag.

      Russia is banned AFAIK. They even banned a Ukrainian for putting pictures of Ukrainian soldiers who died in the war on his helmet.

      Oligarchs love imperialist money. Countries like Russia, Belarus and Israel all engage in slaughter and cultural erasure but they don’t care.
