How ethical are the games?

Hmmm ... turning Sochi into a winter resort has been a vast project, during which rivers have been polluted by construction waste and previously protected forests chopped down. The operation has cost the Russian state around $51bn, making it the most expensive games, summer or winter, of all time. Indeed, $51bn is more than was spent on all the previous Winter Olympics put together. Of that, $7.4bn worth of contracts went to companies linked to Vladimir Putin's judo partner. Another friend of the president's built the $9bn road linking Sochi with the mountains. Workers have been poorly paid and overworked, according to the Economist, with no safety training or insurance, and dozens have died in accidents. The state body responsible, Olympstroy, has been involved in lots of rather murky overspending, but the details of that are "classified". There has also been a mass extermination of Sochi's stray dogs.
