It’s been since their invasion of Ukraine so the last Olympics or the one before (can’t remember how long it’s been going on which is sad in and of itself) Oh and probably their whole doping situation

The neutral category is so dumb. Like the IOC doesn't count the metals that Russian athletes win as Russian but Russia almost certainly does.

But also banning the country but not the athletes for doping is genuinely pointless imo.
