Punish Russia in other ways. Fans can skip Sochi, but athletes deserve to compete.

Agree with this whole-heartedly. Keep politics out.

thirded!

Care to enlighten us? I thought I knew, but I cannot find a correlation of the boycott of the 1980 games and the year 2000? Or are you referring to 2001?
