Russia's state sanctioned systematic doping programme should have been enough for a Russia-free sports zone for some years but unfortunately it takes a war to get some action from the fat cats who have benefited from cuddling up to Putin or his proxies.
Alisher Usmanov sold his 30% stake in Arsenal in 2018, so it's a falsehood to link him with the club in 2022. One of Usmanov's companies is now a shirt sponsor of Everton, main sponsor of the women's team, and another has naming rights on their training ground - if you want to accurately link him to the Premier League in contemporary times.
