Figure Skater Kamila Valieva—Gold Medal Favorite—Reportedly At Center Of Russian Drug Scandal At 2022 Olympics

https://www.forbes.com/sites/annakaplan/2022/02/09/figure-skater-kamila-valieva-gold-medal-favorite-reportedly-at-center-of-russian-drug-scandal-at-2022-olympics/?utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainTwitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ForbesMainTwitter&sh=4981a11fa6f0

Reuters cited reports that Valieva tested positive at the games for trimetazidine, citing the two Russian newspapers.

The Russian Olympic Committee won the gold medal for the team competition Monday night, followed by the U.S. (silver) and Japan (bronze), with Valieva finishing first in both of her events.

The medal ceremony was scheduled for Tuesday evening, but was delayed due to a situation that “requires legal consultation,” International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said during a press conference on Wednesday.

Ok, so, if the Russians get DQ'd, is China in Second Place by chance ? Cause this would be even more hilarious. And predictable.

She is incredibly talented, but there were a lot of suspicions when the Russian female skaters in the last few years started to be able to complete multiple jumps that no other women could attempt.

I'm not saying it's steroids, but that is some amazing leg muscle development for a 15 year old girl who hadn't competed internationally until 4 months ago...

The Russians are just fucking cheaters. They had a fucking curler pop in Korea. A fucking curler. It was in mixed doubles and his partner was smoking hot too.

She won the junior world cup in 2020 and several other championships.


IOC and ISU (International Skating Union) are still trying to find a way to sweep this under the rug and haven't made any official statement.  They care about ratings, prestige, and covering their own asses.  They know DQ and banning her will kill ratings and since she is a minor the rules prevent them from disclosing even that she failed a drug test.  Since she is a minor her coach and trainers are responsible for her well being and access to any drugs or supplements so they are going to take the blame for this.  Her coach is a very famous trainer and former figure skater Eteri Tutberidze.  Guess who the ISU recently awarded the inaugural 'Best Coach' award to?   Ooops.

You gotta wonder though, if China is spiking those shitty looking meals for certain athletes  

I mean, maybe not. But they definitely play some Game of Thrones type shit.

I made a comment about that in the other thread.  Who knows what they are pumping into livestock over there.

Even WADA warned athletes not to eat meat in China, and this is reported in a Chinese newspaper. https://www.scmp.com/sport/china/article/3163669/beijing-2022-wada-warns-athletes-over-eating-meat-products-china-says?module=perpetual_scroll_0&pgtype=article&campaign=3163669
