But you don’t compete at the Olympics, and you don’t set records. You say they won't trust Russian skaters. And a lot of people don't trust Simone, despite all her documented permissions.
Is it worth it to compete at the Olympics for people who really, and not just according to the documents, have such a serious illness? Overloading can cause deterioration. Okay, let's get serious about doping. The first thing to do is to ban all therapeutic exceptions. Because this is a real reason for more than serious doubts. Well, or let the runner bring a certificate that he is sick - and while everyone else is running, he will go to the finish line in a Ferrari.
But they will never cancel therapeutic exceptions, because most of these documents are issued for athletes from the US team, and WADA is largely an American organization. Everyone knows this, but somehow there is little talk about morality.
I know you as a hot-tempered one, but a real honest fan - try to understand my point of view. Now Valieva has been “caught”, and the noise is sky-high. And at the same Olympics, Norwegian short trackers openly breathe some kind of medical rubbish from nebulizers - and completely calmness. And although legally you can’t find fault with them - but is it really fair?
but that's for another thread.
