2. I don't believe the IOC will do anything

I would love to believe they would, but again, they say money talks. Just like with FIFA, it is corrupted by money, and I will bet you they get a lot of money from Russia. While I agree with Ukraine on this, I just don't know how the IOC will change. They didn't bar Russia for doping in the last Olympics, and I don't believe they did in 2016. If they can't enforce their own rules (some of which I think is ridiculous), how can anyone believe that they will do that? I can just see that athletes from Ukraine and Russia fighting in the Olympics, and it will not be a good look.
