Really? Where is your source? Link please. That changes things. Why aren’t the samples sent via tracking and expedited freight?
Kamila Valieva: Anti-doping Case and Follow-ups
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
Because it’s not relevant. If she had a positive test in December she faces sanctions regardless of whether or not she tested negative in February.

I am surprised. When you live in Russia, it seems that nothing can surprise you anymore. But it turns out that there is still an area in which something unexpected can happen.
yes 15 you can skate in seniors, her legal status as a defendant you can argue that with ITA, WADA, IOC, CAS, RUSADA and her lawyers
I haven't watched "women's" figure skating for a while because I don't like the way "women's" skating is nowadays. Now as part of the olympics started following the news of this thing, and what the hell, a positive doping test and the person still get's to compete! I will watch the pairs but definitely not "women's". My favourite sport is cross-country skiing, there has been doping there too, but they also have had sanctions.

People who do not understand that:
1. Kamila has been clean in her tests in Beijing.
2. There is no basis that she is guilty, so they cannot take away her opportunity to compete.
3. Let's imagine that she is innocent (there was a problem with the sample for example), the mental damage by not letting her compete would be irreparable.
4. It was not her fault that she was not notified in time of this adverse result (nor was RusFed's).
If she had tested positive in Beijing she would have been automatically disqualified, but this is not the case.
Wishing Kamila the best in the individual event. Kamila strength!

She was tested at the event. She was clean. I read that in an article.
You shouldn't wonder. Russian people are not stupid. They know they are under scutiny after the 2014 Olympics debacle. It is highly unlikely that this is some sort of wide spread operation. After all, these girls are tested all the time and Kamila was clean at the Olympics AND after Europeans.It is...
I mean I'm already wondering if all the schools in Russia do this? I pray not, but this will be the next thing social media latches onto.
After all, surely the other coaches of Russia should be horrified at this, but it's just crickets.
We all have to wait and see the explanation for this. Clearly some adult(s) person is involved. But will we ever find out who?
Let's hope her mind has taken a breather. This news happening before the skate should help.

Yes but can you appreciate the argument that children don't really get a proper say in the matter,
and western countries manage to brew just as many worthy champions?
what I'm asking is to please not ridicule or dismiss the notion that people from different
countries can feel compassion for what they view as mistreatment of innocents no matter where they come from.

And I also wish those who are full of bile now to cool down. It's bad for your health.
It's not bullying to discuss the positive drug test of a 15 year old senior....that's the point.

Awful decision for sports in general.
Open endorsement of doping and abuse..... as long as it is to a child so we can hide behind their age to allow them to compete.

So apparently Tara and Johnny commented live on NBC or Peacock or somewhere that they both oppose the decision. Except because Tara Lipinski is literally incapable of not making things about herself, she felt the need to slip in "...I know what it's like to go to the Olympics at 15." 
Look, if I can't enjoy the event anymore at least I can enjoy my new party game, "Try To Bring Any Skating Headline Back Around To Tara Lipinski's Gold Medal in Nagano."

If this was any other athlete they would have been suspended and sent home. So unfair for the other ladies in the competition. This is not right.
You should be more concerned about the health of the abused girls at Sambo-70.
