There won't be a welcome on the hillside for any Russians.

Wales have been robbed, they played a drugged up Russian team in the European qualifiers and just lost out in the appeal. So if you play a drugged up team of football players, win and then ban those players, you're ok. Imagine an athletic relay where the team of runners were drugged up, won their qualifier to get into the olympics, were found to be on drugs so they were then banned, but county were still able to send another team to the Olympics in their place. The injustice.

I wonder if the result would have been the same if it had been Russia appealing against Wales. I bet the decision would have been the other way. Wasn't it the drugged player that scored the winning goal?
Sad day for Soccer and Wales
