Pristina official reacts to ban handed to Russian athletes

Here is some advice for you Petrit Selimi, never piss of a superpower becasue they have long memories. It would have been best to keep quiet.

To ban any drug cheat is the right thing to do, but what we have here is a politically motivated move against Russia. Doping is rife throughout athletics and other sports. Regardless of whether you are in Russia or US the rewards are big for winners. Once big money came into the equation drugs followed quickly.

US athletes have been known to use drugs to improve performance with little said, but this banning has opened up a real can of worms for the accusers. As a friend asked have I seen the similarities between Serena Williams and Mike Tyson? And its not becasue they use the same toothpaste either.
Another is Lance Armstrong. Everyone knew in the US cyclist fraternity. Then Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner, Marion Jones and ex husband. That is only the tip of the iceberg.

Contrary to nationalist wet dreams, Russia is not a superpower it once was.
Would have been if its policies weren't so hostile to not only everyone around them, but their own people as well.

Besides, what do they have to be angry about? They cheated and got a slap on the wrist. If Serbia did the same thing, we would be banned from sports for decades.

The IOC is just angry because Russia dominated the olympics in Sochi. First in gold medals... And Kosovo should not have any representatives at all because they are not a country

You are a fool , check internet and you will see if Kosova is a country or not,and who is Majlinda Kelmendi among other athletes from Kosova!!!??? Russian athletes are banned and you are trying to dis Kosova.

Gjon, you use too much logic with these simple Pavlovian creatures. They have been conditioned to react the way they do and not think rationally.

If we are banned for the Olympics it will be another nail into the coffin of the West where more people will see how unjust is their world and their exporting democracy is differing from the home one.

I find it funny that most of you seem to be too stupid to understand what the tweet of Petrit means. The combination of Petrit (a Kosovar) mentioning Russia (Mothership) + Olympics (bad News) is enough for you to go full nuts without reflecting what actually happened.

"#Russia banned from @Olympics. #Kosovo participating for the first time in #Olympics. #EvenSteven I guess." - Petrit Selimi

He`s not tweeting against Russia but a remark for the Olympics. It means... one out, one in... nothing changes for the Olympics. Even Steven.

Wow you guys are too much. As for sj, yes you are right, one should not piss of a super power. I guess Petrit is lucky that Russia is not a super power anymore since the fall of the Sovjets or as Putin said a few weeks ago. USA are the only super power at the moment.

Nite. Nite.

Don't pay attention to this clown Selimi because he doesn't have any clue what he says. When the next government comes thaci and his criminal enterprise will all go to jail for the rest of their lives. Just for 1km asphalt thaci says it costs 10-11 million euros!. I doubt that thaci and his mafia will escape to either Russia or Serbia.

Sometimes one can get the impression that the Albanians commenting here are somehow disconnected from reality ( and sanity ).

Some small figure, hardly known even within the sports scene is bloking and our dear albanian friends are freakin' out and phantasizing about the US being the only superpower!

Well, given that the Russians have crushed american effort in Syria and now even begin to eventually take Turkey under their umbrella the Albanians should smell the coffee though.

Sooner or later Serbia will get the opportunity to take care of you again, and given the speed of loss of american influence in the middle east and the mediterranean the Albanians should not boast too loud I guess.

No matter what our albanian friends will say about it - the colck is ticking.

And it's not in their favour.

Didn't come on this site to brag but yesterday when I viewed Canadian news on t.v. I heard that with regard to Russia's ban or potential ban for the Rio Olympics that my country's athletes could take Russia's place (whatever that really means) but yet my attitude is whichever nation's athletes attain most medals that good for them as long as no athletes are cheating.

We know the banning of Russia is totally political. Every nation has performing enhancing cheats. Russia is the only one dealt punishment as a whole. Clearly politically motivated.
As for the so called independent Western puppet nation illegally allowed to join such corrupt organizations, can anyone find a sponsor to buy them clothes and shoes? Oh that's right they will be sponsored by isis and Albo Mafia.

This guy is absolute idiot. Nothing else to say here. A brainless slob.

Last month that non superpower bombed a US/British special forces base in Jordan and what did the Washington windbags do? NOTHING.

Not sure why Washington should have done anything since there were no US special forces there when that Jordan base was bombed. That is a matter for Jordan to sort out with Russia.

But, I agree, as always, with the CE of B92 forums sj, that the action should replayed so that the reality matches the command of the CE of B92 forums sj. That means that the US should place its special forces in that base, Russia should bomb again while the US forces are there and the Washington windbags should do something so that the command of the CE of B92 forums sj's is fully implemented :)

I do love Serbs because they don’t hide unlike Albanians who adopt names like Vojvodina or Serbian names to make it look like it’s a genuine comment from a third party. You would not know a superpower if it hit you in the head.

You have no idea what you are talking so you end up looking a foolish.
