There is lots of talk and controversy around Russia and them attending the Olympics after alleged doping. Olympic Oath: In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.

Chinese (奧林匹克誓詞, Àolínpǐkè shìcí)[edit] 我謹以全體參賽者的名義保證:為了體育的光榮和團隊的榮譽,我們將以真正的體育道德精神參加本屆奧林匹克運動會,光明磊落,尊重並遵守運動會各項比賽規則,致力於一個沒有興奮劑和藥品的運動會。 Wǒ jǐn yǐ quántǐ cānsài zhě de míngyì bǎozhèng: Wèile tǐyù de guāngróng hé tuánduì de róngyù, wǒmen jiāng yǐ zhēnzhèng de tǐyù dàodé jīngshén cānjiā běn jiè àolínpǐkè yùndònghuì, guāngmínglěiluò, zūnzhòng bìng zūnshǒu yùndònghuì gè xiàng bǐsài guīzé, zhìlì yú yīgè méiyǒu xīngfèn jì hé yàopǐn de yùndònghuì.
