baron-pierreIV 1682 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 With the massive doping allegations of the Chinese now coming out, can Beijing be stripped of their 2022 WOG turn? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1056875/former-chinese-olympic-doctor-claims-10000-athletes-doped-in-1980s-and-1990s I hope so!! Maybe Salt Lake can host in 2022 after all?? Discuss! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2037 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 The IOC doesn't care about states doping. So no. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FYI 1190 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 Who would they get as a replacement when nobody else wants to host anyway, except wait - Salt Lake! And besides, the IOC is "very happy" with Beijing's 2022 preps anyway lol. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/story/102804446/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 574 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 1) If we were talking about a small country, then I would agree with this. But talking about such an influential powerhouse like China i doubt this will happen. Lets face it boys and girls, money is what makes the world go round, and thats the only thing the IOC cares about right now 2) Even if they were going to strip China from the duty, what other choice do they have when nearly no one wants to host even the Summer Games anymore? 3) This shouldn't come as a surprise to no one. Everyone knows almost all ...hell, who am I kidding, all commie countries back in the Cold War had their secret doping program because all they cared was to project themselves at the world stage as much as they could. Soviet Union, East Germany, Romania...why would China be a surprise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if there is the luxury of an open selection, then as is the USOC's stance, they want to look at some choices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s merely symbolic measures to calm the IOC’s critics. Giving Russia a hard time would have meant full ban from Rio and now from PC too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 574 Report post Posted December 30, 2017 Only because WADA /testimonies from a russian scientist which defected left IOC with no choice. And even so russian can still compete under another flag/symbols so they weren't actually banned from PC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think winning gold in hockey not in Russia colors (this includes there stats) might be more painful to watch for Putin then ban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
