They absolutely can. The International Biathlon Union did it immediately.

Doesn't make it right

No the fact that their countries are causing a war of aggression against a sovereign nation, that’s what makes it right to ban the athletes from competing and bringing their country the prestige and capital that having Olympic athletes gains.

Then a lot of other countries should be banned. As those countries are doing the same.

What sovereign countries are China, Israel, US, France invading these days?
joebro2022 t1_j5z18wg wrote
China is doing something just as bad
Israel is literally occupying Palestine which is recongnized as sovereign country by most of the World's population and countries
US is not doing anything right now but they didn't get banned when they did.

Palestine is not sovereign, and China is just doing something??
Us is doing nothing, and you just forgot France.
So none of them is doing the same as Russia.

Palestine is a country. Israel should be banned for killing civilans in a foreign country
China is doing genocide if you didn't know
US werent banned when they invaded Iraq so neither should Russia
France has military personnel in Various African countries meddling in their affairs.
No point arguing with someone who doesn't recongnize Palestine as a country
