The International Olympic Committee expels Ukrainian Vladylsav Heraskevych from The Winter Olympics' skeleton sled competition for wearing a helmet picturing Ukrainian athletes who have been killed by Russia.

I really wish every athlete would just leave the games, so we could see the IOC crying "No, wait! Come back! We did not mean it!"

@randahl The IOC also sells Shirts for the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany...
So no surprise for me here.

Trotz Kritik: IOC verkauft Shirts zu Olympia 1936 in Berlin

Das IOC verkauft in seinem Onlineshop T-Shirts mit einem Motiv zu den Olympischen Spielen 1936 in Berlin unter Hitler. Die Berliner Grünen fordern einen Verkaufsstopp, das IOC verteidigt sein Vorgehen. Aktuell sind die Shirts ausverkauft.

Olympics T-shirt marking 1936 Berlin Games raises eyebrows

T-shirts on the Olympics online store commemorating past venues include one for the 1936 Games in Berlin. Nazi Germany hosted both the Winter and Summer Olympics that year, as it was starting to ramp up its repression.
