Re: Russia banned from winter Olympics for doping.
Yes, most of the great American athletes I grew up admiring later turned out to be cheats:
Wade Exum, the US Olympic Committee’s former Director of Drug Control, handed over more than 30,000 pages of documents to Sports Illustrated magazine and the Orange County Register, which he said showed that over 100 American athletes had failed drug tests between 1988-2000, but had still been allowed to compete.

If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?
