I don’t think that’s fair to the athletes. They have all worked super hard to make it to the olympics and they shouldn’t be banned because of their birthplace.
They are not allowed to represent their birthplace because the birthplace actively financing and supporting systematic doping.
That is not the same as they are being banned.
I have no understanding for why you want to represent that.
Countries and contestants have all agreed that doping is not allowed.
If you promise something and have no intention to keep the promise you are in fact a liar.
There has been, and probably still is, a government funded doping program in Russia.
So not only have their contestants been proved to be cheaters, Russia has been caught sponsoring it all too.
So while you like to derail this discussion towards on whether doping should be allowed or not it still doesn’t change the fact that Russia actively promoted cheating.

Doping is illegal because it represents a serious risk to the health of athletes to get into a PED arms race
To be fair doping is literally cheating and causing further damage to already exploited athletes, where as being trans just makes you cool as hell
