I am worried for Ekaterina Bobrova. She had a doping case because of Meldonium. She stopped taking this medicine in October or November of 2015, but the traces of it were found after January-2016. She had to miss Worlds 2016. Later she was justified as WADA confirmed that it make take several months to completely remove Meldonium from the body.
I think she still has chances to be allowed to go to the Olympics.

IOC told that it would cover the expenses for the athletes.
Still a lot is not clear. For example, if Russia is not allowed to be represented as country, does that mean that there will be no Russian judges in Figure Skating? But if there is no judge from Russia in any competition (team, signles, pairs, dance) that will not be fair.

I read same in your Western media, and I know you all beleive in it.
Your media doesn't write who are behind the anti-Russian propaganda and who forces the IOC to carry out such decisions.
When Ekaterina Bobrova was tested positive on Meldoniy, she was notified, disqualified and had to miss the Worlds.
If Ksenia Stolbova or Ivan Bukin had any doping cases then why they or the RFSF were not notified of that? Why they were not removed from the competitions then, disqualified? That would be the correct fight against doping.
On the contrary - banning the Flag, the Anthem, removing the team leaders from the Olympics without any explanations - THAT"S NOT FIGHT AGAINST DOPING. That's the fight against RUSSIA as the strong sporting country and the potential medal winner.
The IOC has the right to invite/not invite someone to the games. But the athlete HAS THE RIGHT to be informed about the grounds for not-inviting. The IOC has to follow the rule. If after being investigated under the microscope Ivan Bukin (take him as example) was suspected in something bad by Valérie Fourneyron, then she MUST present the explanations. Until now no explanation was given.
