Russian Ban

[BlueAnorak]

All international sport including the World Cup for doping.
I thought the Russian state had a huge IT investment in dodgey stuff, yet they failed to delete records from a secure database that they operated without correcting the record type checksums. Astonishing.

They can play but no flag or anthem apparently. Seems a bit pointless and silly. When is a ban not a ban...

Yes just read that.

Do they have a seperate anti doping set up and if so why they have not found any issue with russia i wonder. Perhaps russian football is clear of this problem...i did say perhaps!!

Don't think it matters, wada aren't interested in UEFA because they are not a global sport organiser, if wada cared that much, no russian footballers would be allowed to play outside russia.

I think it shows wada in a bad light to be honest.

Its all very complicated to the layman thats for sure.

I am mildly surprised we havent been demoted to the nationwide north for using the wrong type of ralgex yet. They seem to have tried everything else lol.
