The IOC applied double standards by banning Russian athletes for political reasons while permitting Israeli athletes to compete despite their alleged involvement in war crimes.

“So that's right. Let's remember Russians not allowed to participate. That guy from Ukraine wasn't allowed to participate. But the genociders from Israel, no problem.”

The IOC's justification for allowing Israeli athletes to compete contradicts their previous actions regarding Russian athletes.

“If you don't hold the athletes responsible for their government, where are the Russian athletes?”
