It's a joke.what are you talking about???
Canada's team championship is from 2018. Canada was never a contender here. If they get a medal, I will be the first one saying they are more than lucky getting a medal... and Ted Barton is in love with EteriI am very confused
I read on the forum how a person came to a pharmacy and was able to buy a substance without a prescription. He did it specifically to check.
i see... wow.. this is getting too intense for me if I cannot sort out jokes from cryptic comments
As I said, the same level of logic.
Not in Russia, I can confirm that in Russia it is an over the counter drug that in a public eye has the status of an iHerb supplement. My friend, who is in her early 30s, got it "prescribed" (though like I said no formal prescription is needed) because she was feeling weak and exhausted after having covid-19.
Oh yeah, I meant 2018. Anyway, Canada is the champion until someone beats them. If Russia is disqualified then there is no 2022 winner and Canada will reign until 2026 by default.what are you talking about???

I understand now... but normally the 2022 title would be given to USA.
Having no gold medal awarded for an Olympic event is extremely rare. It’s much more likely that the second place team would simply be promoted to first. Unless you also have dirt on the US and Japan that hasn't come to light yet.
Immediately about the temporary suspension and the very outside chance that she gets the skate in the lady's competition. Then the rest will be figured out over the next several months but I would think she would probably receive some kind of suspension and then depending on the investigation the length could change. I have to think this is a one time thing with this trace evidence and it's only trace evidence of that positive urine sample and that all her other tests including at the Olympics and Europeans have been negative. But we don't know and they might want to retest everything that Europeans in the Olympics and especially Europeans because it was only a couple of weeks after Russian nationals.
where can we speak about this then? because 99% of the comments are speculations? we cant talk about the situation in the russian ladies thread, we cant really talk in here?
That may be so but it's ridiculous. To base a testing a sample on whether someone wins a medal or not is mind boggling. That's like saying well if someone who doesn't win a medal test positive that's not as bad as someone who wins a medal who test positive.
WADA has financial problems. It isn't funded appropriately. They can't test everyone. If all countries were interested in catching all drug cheats it would probably be better funded and could test everyone.
How though? If the samples have already been sent to Stockholm.
Interesting. I did not know WADA had financial problems.
I appreciate Brennan is a ig star
And this is why in part I think Valieva should be allowed to skate. She is villainized by the media and public opinion. We have convicted her and the Russians before all the facts. But it seems really hard to believe that Valieva is responsible for the drug i her system. And moreover, regardless to treat another olympian with such disrespect. Even wording that her mother had done something wrong - which has yet to be proven at least on this doping allegation is irresponsible. Though much is made of Diana having poor skating skills and being Eteri's daugther she did not deserve to be treated like that. Can you imagine if Diana was suicidal. Freedom of speech and things done in the name of journalism may not mean much if we have a hurt or dead soul or body.
Send her home. She has worked all her life for this opportunity. She herself did nothing wrong. She in fact is suppose to be protected. This is her dream. She was the favourite. It really appears she will be the scapegoat and the victim here. Maybe she needs to be allowed to skate to say to others you should not be victimized and bullied by a system or federation.
She is the victim but allowing her to skate is not the way to ensure that others won't be victimized. Quite the opposite, in fact. If you don't want others to be victimized, the adults responsible for this must suffer and they must see that doping athletes doesn't reap rewards. Plus, she's not the only victim. All the clean athletes will be victimized if an individual who had training advantage due to an endurance drug is allowed to win an event.
It would be very interesting to know these reasons. Here, for example, meldonium. It was synthesized back in the 70s. And the authors of the drug all subsequent years tried to prove clinical efficacy - completely unsuccessfully. Research has shown no results for decades. Only one publication about meldonium in a medical magazine- and then it was recognized as fake.
