    I’m so glad you pointed this out because I thought I was the only one who noticed this. People were rightfully outraged at the accusations and attacks against Imane Khelif but it was very annoying to see people blaming Russians/Russia, throwing around the whole “Russian propaganda/misinformation” phrase when, from what I saw, it was a guy (who just happened to be Russian) from the IBA making accusations rather than a concerted state effort to smear an athlete. It’s probably not a big deal but it’s frustrating to see these phrases that encompass an entire country rather than the small group/individual truly at fault. Maybe the guy wasn’t even Russian.
