If anyone wanted an example of propaganda and political bullying:

"The IAAF and now the sports bodies of the US and Canada are not only demanding that Russian athletes prove their innocence before they can take part in the Games. They also demand that even if athletes prove their innocence, they should only be allowed to take part in the Games as “neutrals” and not as Russians. Thus even if proved innocent Russian athletes would have to deny their nation and their country – foregoing the right to wear its colours or hear its anthem if they win."

(I'm not sure anyone takes seriously the assertion that USA basically does not use propaganda, only speaks truth and righteousness - I find it quite amazing that such an assertion was even put in this mailing list but I guess it's possible -some- people do believe that...)

Participate as a country, dope as a country, get banned as a country. Maybe Russia should clean its house if it wants representation at the games. Or if the institution itself is illegitimate, why do Russians want to represent their country so badly at the games?

Oh well, the IOC refused to ban "the entire Russian Olympic team, regardless", but ultimately "justice" is served - with the banning of, wait for it,

the entire Russian --Paralympic-- team.

YEAH!

Now -that-'s "justice", right Sean? Punish those paraplegic bastards! Every last one of them, whether guilty or not!!!

YEAH! U! S! A! Delivering JUSTICE to THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God -damn- we need to be greatful to America!

And what a wonderful world we live in... so much empathy, harmony and justice.

God Praise America!!!

(Yes, AND you, CIA, you snivelling grovelling sluts! Thank you SO much for this effective, decisive and ultimately just and righteous, psyops campaign. Fucken A!)

** Vladimir Putin slams Paralympic ban; Congratulates Russian athletes (http://theduran.com/putin-slams-paralympic-ban-congratulates-russian-athlete...) ------------------------------------------------------------ By Alexander Mercouris on Aug 26, 2016 02:00 pm russia paralympics

Russian President Putin has just given a scathing assessment (http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/52765) of the collective ban on Russia’s Paralympic Team.

In doing so he has made it quite clear that he – like most Russians – sees the ban as purely political and completely rejects the reasoning behind it…

“The decision to disqualify our Paralympic athletes goes beyond law, morality and humanity. It is quite simply cynical to take out one’s revenge and frustration on people for whom sport has become their life purpose and whose example gives hope and self-confidence to millions of people with disabilities. I even feel pity for those who take decisions of this kind because they do not understand just how degrading this is for them.”

(Bold italics added)

The words “revenge and frustration” quite clearly show that Putin sees the campaign to ban the Russian Paralympic team as an act of spite and revenge for the failure to achieve a collective ban of the Russian Olympic team.

The Russians have made it clear that they do not agree with the legal reasoning of the CAS decision upholding the ban, (http://theduran.com/court-arbitration-sport-upholds-ban-russian-paralympic-t...) and that they will continue to contest it in the civil courts and in the European Court of Human Rights.

As I have said previously, there is no doubt the Russians will pursue legal action to its conclusion in this affair (http://theduran.com/trying-ban-team-russia-olympics-big-mistake/) . With the International Paralympic Committee looking at a disastrous failure of the Paralympic Games in Rio and apparently short of money, it may not be in good shape to contest whatever court cases the Russians bring, or to pay any court awards the Russians might win.

In addition to his comments about the Paralympic ban, Putin also made some very interesting comments about the Russian athletes who competed in the Rio Olympic Games

“We know what a difficult time our athletes had in Rio. The team was cut by nearly a third just before competition was about to start and lost the chance to show its ability in the sports in which Russia has traditionally been one of the recognised favourites. But you measured up to all of these challenges, showed great unity and proved that victory can be won not just by numbers, though numbers were important too, but perhaps more importantly, victory is also won through skill. You displayed a true fighting spirit, did not melt down or bend under the pressure, but fought and won.”

(Bold italics added)

The words “showed great unity” surely refer to the point I have made previously (http://theduran.com/russian-olympians-defy-odds-rio/) : that not a single Russian athlete has succumbed to the pressure to turn informer in return for the reward of a guaranteed place in the Rio Olympic Games and a lucrative sports career in the West.

What that means is that the entirety of the evidence that there is or was a state-sponsored system of doping in Russia is that contained in the McLaren report, which CAS has already said is “incomplete” and cannot be used as evidence in deciding the fate of individual athletes. That puts the IAAF, WADA, the IPC and potentially McLaren himself, in a very fragile position in light of the pending court cases.
