skater says she accidentally took Grampas heart meds
Posted by Jbird on 2/15/22 at 7:49 am33
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who is at the center of a doping controversy, reportedly argued that there was a mix-up with her grandfather's medication after she tested positive for banned drug trimetazidine.
Veteran International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Denis Oswald on Tuesday said that Valieva's lawyers claimed that the test was the result of an accident, according to The Associated Press.
“Her argument was this contamination which happened with a product her grandfather was taking,” Oswald told reporters.

Cheaters and liars the lot of them.

Doesn't that make it worse? Her defense is she negligently took medication that was not prescribed to her? IOC would not be able to allow this defense to succeed because it will cause a really difficult precedent.
Also, if they find the drug in her system, couldn't they essentially determine based on the results if it is likely a 1 time mistake, or if she had been taking them for awhile

IOC is going to accept it. I'm still pissed they are going to allow her to compete and just cancel any medal ceremonies she wins to minimize the visibility of it.
Other scaters 100% need to protest this, and at this point I would give a head nod to the US pulling out of both all future games and canceling LA as a host city until there is legitimately meaningful reform. It's just bullshite.

She should have just shut her mouth. I was sympathetic that she was just a pawn in the Russians doping schemes and didn't have much choice or knowledge. Trying to pin this on her Grandpa? That's weak and not play well. She's lying. She is complicit and has lost any victim stance she may have had.

I could easily buy that she legitimately did not know and was being provided the drug with her normal vitamins and approved supplements and its her coaches and trainers making this up to cover them.
Note that though it sucks for her if she was taken advantage of like that, it doesn't matter if she knew or not. She still has gained an unfair advantage.

bullshite. That’s the dumbest excuse. At least try harder.

Doesn't matter-CAS, USADA, WADA, every agency with any cred at all doesn't care how drugs got in your blood. They just follow the chain of custody and if it's secure, you're on the hook for your sample.

You misspelled "She's a RUSSIAN in the eyes of the IOC and can get away with cheating."...

The drug in question has a half life of under 7 hours. No way she just fricked up and ate one. Never would have tested positive for it.

Is this time line somewhat correct? I asked in other thread but got no answer
Skater popped hot
Skater result hidden
Skater shows up and competes
Skater result announced world goes bonkers
IOC is like we are clueless how this was allowed
ISU suspends after skate
ROC says okay we appeal
Court of Sport Arbitration allows a stay
IOC ISU is like well umm we need to investigate
Public and former skaters go bonkers
skater skates again
Former skaters and public go nuts again
Bad cover story is floated
No resolution

How much “saliva” would she need to have a detectable sample?
