"In general, nations have been barred because of geopolitical considerations, not doping"
Right, because doping really is the sole reason for banning Russia from the games and geopolitical considerations have nothing to do with this decision at all.

You people, some SV quacks could come up with a device that sends you a tweet when you need to take a shit and you'd still be telling me how it's making the world a better place.

Sure each to their own.
