Russia out of 2018 Winter Olympics.

Wow!

What to say when you don't get the holiday party invite...
Rejected. Yesterday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said Russia can't compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Last year, it came out that more than 1,000 Russian athletes had been part of a government-backed doping scandal for years - including some 2014 Olympic winners who later had their medals taken away. Now, the IOC says Russian athletes who weren't part of the doping scandal and who pass a drug test can compete next year. But they'll represent an Olympic neutral flag. Aka Russia gets no cred. This is the first time the committee has banned an entire country for doping.
So...will any clean Russian athletes (if there is such a person) choose to compete? And if they do, when will they start dropping dead from polonium poisoning?
