Wow, what an explosion over this. Lots of pent up emotion here. Here`s mine. After watching skating for 40 years we can expect three actions by the Russians:
1. They will manipulate/circumvent these procedures to their advantage in ways the procedures were never intended
2. They will implement medical practices to keep their age-eligible women in pre-pubescence and able to do 4/3As
3. They no doubt have developed performance/recovery compounds not in ISU banned substances
This looks like another Thomas Bach strategy to escort the Russians back to the Olympic movement. Remember he tried this before Paris and happily few federations took it up.
Several have pointed out that since the ban the rest of skating Europe has woken up. Let`s keep it woke
