IOC move to bring back the Russians: inevitable and appropriate

IOC move to bring back the Russians: inevitable and appropriate

The International Olympic Committee on Tuesday lifted its suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, a move that makes it all the more likely — probable — a full Russian team will compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games.

The decision Tuesday was inevitable.

Absolutely nothing.
