So in other words not all, not even majority. Do we believe in collective punishment because of a minority here in the west? Thought that's supposed to be what Russians do not us

When a huge amount got caught the rest had to go through strict checks... Says so in your own link pal. Minority got caught either cheating or were implicated via fabricated tests. Many refused to comply with the stricter requirements, some boycotted because of the rules being perceived as unfair, every single Russian athlete that has been competing since the scandal under neutral flag has complied with stricter requirements. So... Maybe read your own links and don't just cherrypick a number randomly. Your quoted numbers are why they already got punished, guilty ones got banned, rest were subjected to harsher rules, because of systematic problem instead of just athletes own initiative Russian flag got dropped. We already had crime, investigation, and punishment...
As for invasions and warcrimes those cannot be reason to ban Russia or even their flag when US and Turkey and Saudis get away with the same behaviour. Why should Olympics hold Ukrainian civilians being slaughtered to any higher regard than Iraqi or Yemeni civilians?
