So we enjoyed the World Championships in Finland.
And we keep hearing from non-participants that the championship was rubbish.
Finland is accused of having privatized the IIHF.
Czech Republic would not have won bronze without Russia's exclusion.
Insults from the international hockey federation follow.
Russia says it does not need to be in the IIHF.
IIHF executives are hypocrites, their actions are arrogant.
Russia commands what can be allowed.
It has elevated doping to a state interest.
It sends its athletes to distant gubernias.
They claim that the sporting principle has been violated.
But what about the principle of invading an independent state.
What about the principle of thousands dead and millions displaced.

Humility: 0, respect: 0, so PARTICIPATIONS in hockey events: 0 !

PS: although they needn't fear, the bad IIHF kept their ranking as if they were there
