Russian lawmakers have been clear that despite the sugarcoating, the Russian laws will apply to anyone, even the olympics athletes.

The law applies, no doubt, but it has no affect on the sports in which the athletes compete.
Wrong.

Olympic Athletes have diplomatic immunity.

The only REAL concern athletes have... is from the IOC.

But yeah... that's a pretty big concern... because the IOC is worse than the Russian Government.
