To be fair you can say this about any country at war when in comes to training their athletes. Sports is meant to transcend politics. North Korea vs South Korea, armenia vs azerbaijan, Isreal vs most middle east countries. Plus if we starting banning countries for how they have treated others in wars then the uk can't compete against anyone lol.

Shouldn’t they be more inclined to beat them?

In most cases professional athletes are training at training centers across the world rather than their home anyways so I’m not sure it’s that different than it was before the war. Olympic level semi-pro and amateur probably in a different position though

Reply to [Charania] After 16 NBA seasons, LaMarcus Aldridge announces he has retired from basketball. Aldridge was a seven-time NBA All-Star and played for Portland, San Antonio and Brooklyn after going No. 2 in the 2006 NBA Draft. by BCLetsRide69

At his best, he was so fun to watch. So skilled with the mid range jumper for a big guy. It's good that he's retiring for good this time. Was kind of concerned with those heart issues.

Can’t believe that’s as coherent as it is 😂 Glad I could help!

And yeah! Why are people downvoting you? It’s a really good question! We have cameras in every other sport — why not tennis?

Besides the moral element, can you imagine that an athlete from Ukraine has to compete with russian athletes who can train at home, at non-bombed facilities, with no interruptions because of air siren alarm and no constant fear of their families being killed with a random missile? Does this look like fair conditions?

The Kings fully deserved it. They have been exceptional and exciting to watch all season.

From the article "Government minister Oleh Nemchinov said Thursday that a decision had been taken only to enter events with no Russians involved, according to public broadcaster Suspilne."

They're actively not entering events with Russian presence, title's worded with bias but definitely accurate.
