Show Notes

The International Olympic Committee has banned Russia from the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, however its athletes are allowed to participate as long as they do it without the Russian flag and the team uniforms. Host Dan Loney talks with Robert Boland, Sports Lawyer and Athletics Integrity Officer at Penn State University, and Andrew Zimbalist, Professor of Economics at Smith College and Author of "Rio 2016: Olympic Myths, Hard Realities", to discuss this decision and how it might impact the Olympic games on Knowledge@Wharton.
