If Russia is banned from the Winter Olympics why can they compete under the name Russian Olympic Committee

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has banned Russia from competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. However, Russian athletes are still allowed to compete under the name "Russian Olympic Committee" (ROC).

This decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some people believe that it is unfair to punish the entire Russian team for the actions of a few individuals. They argue that the athletes who have not been involved in any wrongdoing should be allowed to compete.

Others believe that the IOC is sending a strong message that cheating will not be tolerated. They argue that the ROC team should not be allowed to compete, as it would send the wrong message to other athletes.

The IOC has said that the ROC team will be held to the same standards as any other team. The athletes will be subject to the same drug testing and eligibility requirements. The IOC has also said that the ROC team will not be allowed to use the Russian flag or anthem.

The decision of whether or not to allow the ROC team to compete is a difficult one. There are valid arguments on both sides. Ultimately, it is up to the IOC to decide what is in the best interests of the Olympic Games.
