* Russian and Belarusian sport national governing bodies should be suspended from international sport federations.
* Individuals closely aligned to the Russian and Belarusian states, including but not limited to government officials, should be removed from positions of influence on international sport federations, such as boards and organizing committees.
* National and international sports organizations should consider suspending the broadcasting of sports competitions into Russia and Belarus.
In cases where national and international sports organizations, and other event organizers, choose to permit sportspeople (including athletes, officials and administrators) from Russia and Belarus to participate in sporting events:
* It should be clear that they are not representing the Russian or Belarusian states.
* The use of official state Russian and Belarusian flags, emblems and anthems should be prohibited.
* Appropriate steps should be taken to ensure that any public statements made or symbols displayed at sporting events – by any athletes, officials and administrators involved – are consistent with this approach.

This was needed when Russia was doping athletes only. But they are waging wars on top of that now. Go for it, sports organizations. Ban these fuckers.
Stop pushing your dirty politics in to sports. You are discrediting sport and making Russians support their government more.
Good
