The Russians are out. I’m sure everyone has seen it by now but just in case.

I wonder how much of this is a political stunt and how much of it is fear that their athletes will be targeted and harmed. With the anti Russia sentiment in the western world and the seemingly consistent attempts to start WW3, I can see where the Russian athletes could feel unsafe. Anyone have similar thoughts or is this just more politicians doing things and not caring about the people it affects?

I'm guessing fear for the safety of their athletes is not in the top 100 reasons this is happening.

They know they will get caught doping is my guess.
