By Marcel Woland Followers of mass media in the West may be forgiven for not noticing that the Olympic movement has been severely damaged by the recent weaponization of the Olympics. What the average Western viewer was expected to take away from the much-reported ‘Russian doping scandal’ was that Russia is indeed a lawless, sinister entity and that the Fu Manchu-like Putin has his finger in every pie. Many believed

Let me begin by saying that I am not a big supporter of Konstantin Dushenov. Without going into a long detailed discussion about this, let’s just say that I don’t consider myself a nationalist.
