Why Doesn't The IOC Strip The Russian Hockey Goons Of Their Medals?

So should the Russian hockey team be forced to return their medals for breaking the Olympic rule by singing their stupid banned anthem? Wouldn't demanding that they return their medals be a good way to show that Russian rule breaking will not be tolerated by Russian dopers nor their murdering gangster ruler Vladimir Putin? We all know that toxic orange will side with his cheating Russian support team.

The Russian dopers were already given a break by being allowed to compete. They thanked the IOC by ignoring the anthem ban and spitting in the face of the IOC. Of course the Russian dopers would have been crushed if the NHL players competed again.

when they allowed the Russian dopers to compete at all. Even a Russian curler tested positive for dope.
