They’re still waiting for a decision apparently.

I have mixed emotions about it only because of her age. If she was a bit older and willingly taking it then I’d feel more harshly for her. But if her coaches have been like “Here take this, it’s ok” then they should be absolutely banned from the sport for that.

Kinda heartbroken for Kamila, she may be the biggest talent in this I've ever seen going back to the 70's.

No doubt this was pushed on her and frick them, she doesn't need any advantages.

They are waiting to have a hearing on it. Crazy case.

Tested on Christmas. Results took 6 1/2 weeks to get back, the day after the Russians won. The Russians immediately suspend her, she appeals and the Russians overturn the appeal. So now the IOC doping group is appealing the overturn of the appeal and they are waiting for the hearing in front of the arbiter of sports.

But they need something soon as she next skates on Tuesday

So are they her personal coaches is it the national coaches that allegedly supplied this to her? If it is her personal ones then she loses credibility as the I did not know. If it was the nationals then the IOC loses credibility to allow Russian teams compete, and this was a team event. WADA actually looks cometent in this whole thing, which is amazing. WADA is the most corrupt organization out there other than FIFA

So this is kinda how we got here. They were drilling holes in walls to pass clean samples in Sochi for frick's sake. The IOC basically gave them a pass to drug their athletes at every OLY games moving forward.

Yea I have no clue. I am sure they will try to scapegoat some random trainer to get her and the team eligible. BUT idk.

How can she skate on Tuesday if her eligibility is still in question? There’s no way that the IOC should allow it. If they do, then other countries should file a protest.

Kamila Valieva deserves a double gold. Really hope she gets it.


She is a 15 year old sucked into Russia's doping regime. How 'bout go back to the old days and let her defect to a country with an interest in her health and well-being? Then slam all the quads or whatever you call them she wants to without doing drugs that could result in her heart exploding in her chest.
