U.S. Olympic Committee: Athletes Should 'Comply' With Russia's Anti-Gay Law | ThinkProgress

Two days after an American became the first athlete to speak out against Russia’s new anti-gay law at the track and field World Championships in Moscow, the United States Olympic Committee staked out its position on the law. Instead of offering support for gay athletes, though, the head of the USOC said that athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi should “comply” with the Russian law that bans “homosexual propaganda.”

On the "whole" we don't "agree," although we are talking about "Russia" here.
