Either that or run with their existing squads they have in place or sign up any other free agents. Not for me- to replace a heat leader in Extraleague is nigh impossible- the clubs involved are hardly to blame so fairest outcome in my opinion would be RR - as long as they are in top 3 of the clubs averages( as existing rule for RR). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HenryW 1,178 Posted March 15, 2022 Just wondering....Have Russians actually been banned from any other sports leagues? As far as I have seen, they continue to play in the likes of Football and Ice Hockey teams, even in Poland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted March 17, 2022 I can completely understand why they've gone with R/R but personally I feel short changed by seeing one (or even worse two!) fewer riders than the full fourteen, and this is likely to be all season. There is no ideal solution unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please explain what was in this article He basically stated that he believed what was shown on Russian TV, that it was more accurate than the propaganda shown on Western TV, implying that he agreed with the current Russian military operations in Ukraine. He also talked about the Russians being killed in Donbas for the last 8 years by Ukraine and how no sanctions were imposed and no sportsmen were stopped from competing during that time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
