I definitely read something that made a point about the Russian wrestlers that were in the military wouldn't be able to compete. Don't know about the validity or if that has changed.
I also heard Kozak say that France isn't going to allow the Russians or Belarussians in the country for the Olympics...
Ban's takes are no more outrageous than a few of the other regulars here where civility takes a back seat to opinion and dogma.
There have been things to learn in this forum and things to let go...
Maybe I'm not seeing the correct entries but I see the Belarussian entries as AIN and no UWW wrestlers listed? I read that the Indian wrestlers would be under the UWW flag. I 'm not seeing any Russians under the AIN flag?
