No, people with asthma, mental health issues etc would not be BANNED, they would be just unable to participate if they need to use banned drugs, because the sport is supposed to be drug free. The same way as certain professions have very strict medicals and if you fail it, you can’t do that profession. You also can’t be a bodyguard with significant health problems. But that wouldn’t be because of Russians. It is the athletes all over the world who are abusing this. US gymnasts, British cyclists....no need to blame Russia for everything. Though I am not sure how is what Russia did supposed to be any worse than abusing drugs ‘for medical exceptions ‘. But hurray, they are still within the rules, so they don’t have the label of cheaters.So people with asthma, heart disease, blood pressure problems, mental health issues, etc are banned from competitive sport because poor Russians could not get away with taking a drug cocktail of steroids?
