1. Russians No Longer Dispute Olympic Doping Operation.

MOSCOW — Russia is for the first time conceding that its officials carried out one of the biggest conspiracies in sports history: a far-reaching doping operation that implicated scores of Russian athletes, tainting not just the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi but also the entire Olympic movement.

Over several days of interviews here with The New York Times, Russian officials said they no longer disputed a damning set of facts that detailed a doping program with few, if any, historical precedents.

“It was an institutional conspiracy,” Anna Antseliovich, the acting director general of Russia’s national antidoping agency, said of years’ worth of cheating schemes, while emphasizing that the government’s top officials were not involved.'>>>

3. Honestly, I hope this helps kill the Olympics

Every 2 years, some country builds a huge sports complex that winds up abandoned. If the country is one where its record on human rights is not that great, they put the boot down even harder to hide any protesters. Then you get to watch increasingly younger participants who have given up their childhoods for a lifetime of physical and mental torture because of misplaced nationalism compete so their countries can have some sort of short-lived bragging rights. Then there's all the scandal associated with the IOC, and you know the US and other countries are probably doping as well so any records set, actually just any of the results from any event should have an asterisk next to it. I'm surprised Russia copped to it as doping technology is always ahead of technology used to detect it, so you can go years like Russia did (or Lance Armstrong) before you're found out, but at that point who cares? Chances are you're not going to remember watching the event the doped athlete participated in; they got their moment of glory and sports endorsement deals, and they probably wouldn't have been competing again as there's a new crop of athletes using the latest doping techniques replacing them.

4. They should be stripped of every medal won at the Sochi Olympics...

and should be banned from competing in Korea 2018.
