smzimbabwe Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So I'm looking over the hockey rosters for various teams I generally root for, and something just popped in my head. Haven't heard anything in a while, but is Alex Ovechkin going to carry out his plan to play in these Olympics no matter what the Capitals of NHL say?

I don't have a link handy, but I remember hearing on the Puck Podcast that he backed off his stance. He's not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia’s been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics over doping.

There will be a lot of "Olympic Athletes from Russia" participating. The "ban" is pretty flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not. The Russian athletes who are competing are the ones who (as far as anyone can tell) didn't dope.
