    Then there would have to be a written list of disqualifying actions. Of course, this could differ depending on the contest. There are myriads of contests, beauty, music, movies, hotdog eating, chess etc. I would just make it simple and remove politics from all contests.

      Don’t pretend like you’d read such a list. You just said you had no way to figure out why a country would be banned from an international competition just one comment ago. If you couldn’t even think of reading an official explanation, we’re supposed to believe that a list that would be published in the same place would result in you being better informed?

      It’s pretty dead simple to ban a country from competition for being warmongering and genocidal. What would be complicated?

        Proving it. Also, some countries have influence. Is there anyone investigating the US over attacking Venezuelan boats supposedly carrying drugs?

          What does that have to do with you not knowing that when countries get banned from international competitions, it’s easy to find out exactly why, and that having such policies is pretty simple?
