The International Olympic Committee announced that Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be able to participate in the19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. As we all know, Russian sports have spent more than a year under the shadow of a global ban.

Due to the large-scale ban of international competitions, they can't appear in regular intercontinental or world competitions, and it is difficult to achieve effective results. It goes without saying that the Asian Games is an important opportunity for them to reach the standard through their achievements.

However, the initiative to invite Russia and Belarus to participate in the competition was opposed by many countries, including Australia and New Zealand, which refused to participate in the competition. In addition, six European countries including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel also indicated that they would not attend.

The reason for the Russian ban

1. Russia violated the World Anti-Doping Agency Treaty proposed by the international community. As a result, Russia cannot participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 competition. In international competitions, Russia violated many anti-doping regulations, which led to the Russian team being banned from participating in international football leagues in subsequent competitions.

2. Mainly due to political reasons, Russia is ineligible to participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

3. It is said that it was because Russian athletes used stimulants, and the senior sports officials at that time also helped to eliminate the relevant evidence and fabricated the drug test report, which eventually led to Russia being banned from participating in world-class sports events, including the Olympic Games and the World Cup.

Russian clubs and national teams are suspended from participating in all FIFA and UEFA competitions because Russia is facing national problems and is still in conflict with Ukraine. So I missed the preliminaries against Poland in March this year and missed the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

This means that Russia will miss the 20021Tokyo Olympic Games, the 20222 Beijing Winter Olympics and the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Doping is harmful to sports. Russia was punished this time, and everything can be said to be its own fault. Doping is absolutely forbidden in sports.

6. In 2020, Russia was banned from the World Anti-Doping Agency for two years and could not participate in the World Cup. It is said that in 2020, Russian athletes will use stimulants in the stadium.
