The latest world junior hockey tournament wrapped up a week ago. The Russians weren't allowed to compete. Latvia played in its place, and regularly got smoked like a cheap cigar. Their poor goalies are still being treated for shell shock.

One place where the high road was taken was at Wimbledon. Russians couldn't play, but there were no rankings points to be won.

On one hand, I get why they're being banned. On the other hand, they're not fighting anyone.
