Doesn't Russia already perform under neutral flags because of the doping?

They should just be banned entirely. How many doping scandals does it take? The presence of their athletes is all Russia cares about. They'll Photoshop in some flags and parade it around state TV.

I don't think that's fair to the athletes. They have all worked super hard to make it to the olympics and they shouldn't be banned because of their birthplace.

I don't think it's fair to the other athletes who also worked super hard to make it to the Olympics. It's not a prestigious competition if it's full of cheaters.
