Would the top three at the Ms. O been different had Anastasia Leonova been able to compete?

Think what you want, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't have the time or the crayons to keep explaining this to you, so I'll stop wasting my energy. The simple fact is that Russian athletes are banned from participating in world competitions such as Anastasia from the Mr. Olympia, recent Olympic Games or the World Championship in hockey and will remain for the foreseeable future. Rightly so. And your pathetic whining will make no difference about it. 🙂

Since the world happily accepted American athletes during the past 20 years of America's criminal wars, I'd say yes, yes the Russians should be allowed. If you are from the USA or one of its lackey countries you have no grounds to criticize. Zero.

Agree with this. Hypocritical for the West to ban Russian athletes given the US/West’s litany of brutal wars. Right now, while the West sanctions and bans Russian athletes, it defends the rights of Israeli athletes (and Eurovision singers!) to compete wherever they’d like.

Letting all athletes compete is the easiest way that I see for international competitions to be consistent.

Well said MuscleLover.

Who banned the russians ? Who attacked Ukraine ? Please, remember me !

One of the closest polls I have seen! I will say I think if she can make it to the Olympia next year in her top shape, she will be top three.

I guess Russia will have to lose their 'special military operation' and Vlad Putin overthrown before Anastasia will appear in the Olympia next year.

Yes, very much so. The sooner the better.

Agreed. Let's start a petition. If we can get enough signatures we can lay the ground work into making this happen.

Yeah, sure. Go ahead, good luck. But I am afraid even with your apparently highly amusing sarcasm, Anastasia still won’t be able to compete in the nearest upcoming Mr. O’s. Disappointed?
