Sure a country who has managed to act evilly on the international stage for a solid 400 years now.[/quote]

The US really isn't in a position to lecture others on brutality as policy.[/quote]

With Russia, we are. [/quote]

NP. No, no we’re not. Both countries have centuries of brutality in their history books. And how about that, both countries like to bury and hide its history as though it didn’t exist. Makes it damn near criminal in some places to learn about the brutality of the country. [/quote]

The difference is the nationalization of sport in the two countries. Athletes' families in the U.S. often complain about how much it costs to train an athlete for Olympic sports compared to the nationalized system in other countries like Russia. Sure, but with nationalization comes the chance that that country's government may be overly invested and demand certain outcomes to further the country's image. Concern for the athlete becomes secondary in those cases. The U.S. figure skating system is too disjointed for hide irregularities for too long.
