Russia To Send Shamed Olympians to Gulag, Start All Over Again

Interesting, so much animosities towards Russians but we do not mind word's best figure skating trainers and choreographers from Russia who train majority of medalists. And we love Russian hockey players too!

im dating a russian girl (no I didnt order her, she is an actual person) and was talking with her father and he was saying the same thing though, that the coaches and facilities there are pretty run down and loses in the figure skating and hockey really shook the country, but again, most of there athletes left after perishtroika and with the current americanization, young people are more interested in fashion, music and school than sports, seeing as they no longer find what your good at (sports wise) at an early age and train you everyday until the olimpics starts.... but on a more exciting note, glad the U.S.A. broke the record for most medals ever won at a winter olympics by any country!!!! almost had that hockey gold.... oh well.

Pizdetz! Maybe if the KGB hadn't scared everyone off they would have good athletes?

Read the Gulag Archipelago. Pay special attention to Footnote 5 on page 13

So no one is actually being sent to a gulag. Yay for misleading titles...

Hey, he can't do that 2 of those players are Pittsburgh Penguins: Evgeni Malkin and Segei Gonchar! And we love these guys.... soooo "GFY", Jane Canary; Deadwood.

Hey guys, the cold war ended a few DECADES a go. Give Russia an F-ing break. This is just booring internal politics. the political leader of his own country is perfectly entitled to want his Olyimpians to do better and to be annoyed at corruption inside the government sports training program. To think otherwise is simply moronic.

Are they mad at us again? Last time I checked they were docking a Sub in cuba laughing and pointing twards the US... So... um when are we going to get to start calling them reds again???

is this progress? a few years ago, they sent KGB agents with all of the olymics athletes, to make sure they didn't defect...and sent the losers to Siberia.

Ah the good ole days of cold war come back we miss ye.This actually happened back in the 70's and 80's.The hockey team was comprised of players that actually served in the Soviet Army and were called "Soviet Red Army". If they did not win they're games they would actually do time in a gulag!

Blatantly false article title...

Not than anyone on Current cares any more.

Pass the popcorn.

Hahaha boo hoo!

I wish American leaders had guts to fire all bureaucrats and start over.

Nothing a lil vodka can't fix.

WTF?

No control issues here! Where does he think he is; USSR?

What a sore loser!
