"Russia has been handed a four-year ban from all major sporting events by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
[font=ReithSans, Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif]It means the Russia flag and anthem will not be allowed at events such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics and football's 2022 World Cup in Qatar."[/font]

Yep, they started WWI and hosted the Olympics in 1936 and started WWII almost immediately thereafter.   They also hosted in 1972 (Munich) and killed 7 Jewish athletes from Israel.

Not a very good resume indeed.  Hopefully the committee will do a hard pass on them if they decide to bid on hosting their 3rd Olympics.

Palestinian terrorists did that to the Jewish athletes and the result of that created probably the best counter-terrorism unit in the entire world, GSG9.
