        .@BBCBreaking what a joke. Can't upset the sponsors and ban Olympic team. Let's fuck the disabled athletes instead. Pathetic.

        Makes a mockery of allowing their athletes into 'main' Olympics.

        @BBCSport How does that even work in Paralympics? Sticking a motor on the wheelchair?

        Russian atheles are clearly targeted. No chance 400 of them got the substance knowing it was illegal.

        they are being targeted because of state run doping. Blame your government if you don't like it. #russiancheats

        Russians athletes are spared sewage-infested waters and Zika infestation. And problem is even worse: corruption infestation.
