I'm hearing that Vey has signed with the Zurich Lions of the Swiss league - I guess his KHL team has missed the playoffs and he had an out in his contract.

lol - Throwing out the phrase "defend our honour" when you got busted with a systematic doping establishment. If the IOC had any cajones, Russia would have been banned all together from competing. I say go ahead and boycott, you won't be missed.

"There was an attempt to take the Russian athletes' flag, anthem, to push Russia toward a boycott ... And now this is the second attempt, tyranny, an attempt to drive a wedge between athletes who had managed to keep their good name," Mikhail Degtyarev said. "I'm not personally a supporter of a boycott. I consider it counterproductive, but we need to defend our honour."

Russia talking boycott again with more athletes barred - Article - TSN
