From powerhouse to pariah, Russia given the cold shoulder across the sports world

• Many sports organizations and teams have cut ties with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
• Russian F1 driver Nikita Mazepin was released by American-backed Haas racing.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, countless nations, organizations and prominent individuals worked swiftly to condemn the actions of president Vladimir Putin, and that included much of the sports world. Given what a significant source of national pride sports has been under Putin, the breadth and magnitude of the athletic community's actions has been remarkable.

Earlier this week, Nikita Mazepin, the only Russian driver in Formula One, was fired from the American team, Haas. This came after the team had already dropped their main sponsor, Uralkali, a Russian company owned by Mazepin's billionaire father, Dmitry Mazepin.

The FIA, F1's governing body, had previously announced that Mazepin could still compete but not under the Russian flag.

Mazepin's case is far from unique in the current sports landscape, where teams and organizations are cutting all ties to Russia and Putin.

In the two weeks since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, here are just some of the ways that Russia has been cut off from the sports world:

• The International Paralympic Committee barred all athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing in the ongoing Beijing Paralympics.
• Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic announced that they would not play FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Russia. FIFA and UEFA later banned Russia from international competitions.
• The major tennis federations — the ATP, WTA, and ITF — have banned Russian teams from international competitions and announced players could no longer compete under the Russian flag. This includes Daniil Medvedev, the No. 1 men's player who also appears to have removed the Russian flag from his social media accounts.
• UCI, the governing body of international cycling, banned all Russian teams and stripped the Russian-backed Gazprom-RusVelo team of its UCI status.
• The UEFA Champions League final, scheduled for late May, has been moved from St. Petersburg to Paris.
• F1 canceled the Russian Grand Prix, scheduled for Sochi in September.
• Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich announced he would sell English football powerhouse Chelsea FC, possibly fearing that the UK government would seize the club.
• All major boxing sanctioning bodies announced that they would not endorse any bouts in Russia, and the WBO is reportedly weighing whether to remove all Russian boxers from its rankings.
• German football club FC Schalke 04 removed the name of Russian oil giant Gazprom from its jersey. Gazprom had been the team's main sponsor since 2007.
• The ATP tennis tour canceled a challenger tournament that was supposed to take place in Moscow this month.
• The International Ski Federation (FIS) has canceled or moved all remaining World Cup events scheduled to be held in Russia this season.
• EuroLeague postponed two scheduled basketball games between FC Barcelona and Russian clubs.

The expunging is not limited to real-world athletic events. EA Sports announced it would remove all Russian teams and clubs from its soccer and ice hockey video games.

Even Putin has been impacted personally.

World Taekwondo announced that it was withdrawing the honorary 9th dan black belt the organization had given Putin in 2013.
