Should Russia lose the right to host the 2018 World Cup and also other sporting events, including Russia's first F1 Grand Prix?

Well Mr Clegg thinks so, as any other decision would make the world look 'so weak and so insincere'.

No simply.Countries have the right to withdraw from the Qualifying process if they wish.Let world leaders deal with the real issues rather than urging a boycott.Didnt Russia gain many accolades for their hosting of the Winter Olympics? Keep sport out of politics...

Russia should never have been given the World Cup in the first place.

Why Mikey? Any less deserving than Qatar?

Should Glasgow not be given the Commonwealth Games due to endless riots between Celtic and Rangers?

[inksplotter]

"Not have been given" I meant to say.

No, I don't agree with Clegg.

Sporting boycotts rarely achieve anything except resentment which isn't the objective.

And who is Clegg to talk about appearing weak and insincere ? Remember student loans betrayal.
