Russia's men's quad was also DQ'd just before the 2016 Rio Games for doping. They've corrupted the last two cycles of the int'l trials qualification bracket. RUS still doping, nothing has changed, sham punishment NOT working. #rowing #Tokyo2020 #doping
.@Olympic_Russia men’s quadruple sculls team has been withdrawn from the #Tokyo2020 following the decision to exclude two rowers over positive drug tests earlier this month, with Lithuania offered their #Olympic place ow.ly/BkQv50FyhvO #Rowing

Definitely a feel-good story, out of something that doesn’t have a place in sport or anywhere #racism. @spiritnorthxc provides such incredible programs and opportunities. Let’s make a change! @BeckieScott4
A feel-good story out of a feel-bad story and the meeting of two different Canadian athletes. Donations to @BeckieScott4 @spiritnorthxc spike after racism directed at @EdmontonOilers Ethan Bear. My @CdnPressSports story and Jason Franson photo. #NHL bit.ly/2R6rV64

I would love to compete in Minsk/Raubichi, but seeing this news makes me glad that my international federation just pulled our upcoming world cup event out of Belarus. I hope this journalist and all citizens of BLR including athletes stay safe.

So we have an organizer (Vikersund) that officially applied, an NSA that backs it up, sponsors that want women to fly, the FIS Medical Board that sees no problems and athletes who are eager to do it. Then why doesn't the FIS just say let's do it? #skijumping #skijumpingfamily
