But are outraged when the same country, which is well known for its corruption, is found to be corrupt in sports.

Most of the anti-GMO stories are from the US, followed by Asia and Europe.
As to GMO's, it looks like Russia's "athletic" program is trying to make human GMO's!

and only a few uncritical Russia-lovers in general, most of whom were probably different incarnations of the same prolific troll.
I think it's well-known that the Russian government and many associated organizations, including those involved with sport, are to a large extent criminal enterprises.
