Vladimir Putin today faced growing calls for Russia to be banned from hosting the World Cup and Formula One races after the shooting down of MH17. British MPs urged the move to heap pressure on Moscow over its support for pro-Russian separatists who are blamed for killing all 298 people on board the Malaysia Airlines jet. Tracey Crouch, a member of the culture, media and sport select committee, said Russia should be stripped now of the 2018 football tournament in light of the disaster. The MP, who is also a qualified football coach, told The Times: Football could be used to put pressure on President Putin to change some of his practices.
