Should Russia be allowed to take part in the Paralympics?

Well they are.

So I think every athlete should refuse to take part if it means competing against a Russian.

So unfair on the athletes but the games should be boycotted if
Russia is allowed to take part.

I'm very sorry for the athletes, but definitely no.

No. Disappointing for the athletes, but maybe other countries should boycott the games.
I think I read that there were legal reasons for not banning Russia, not sue though.

No. It’s not enough to say “but they won’t be included in the medals tables”.

No! Seemingly Putin is a great follower of sport so all the more reason not to allow participation. I hope they do a U turn over the bad decision to allow this.

No, I feel sorry for the athletes but it just gives Putin another win situation.

Exactly that really. They were allowed to take part with a positive drug test, but this is much more serious.
