I didn't watch. I just couldn't. I have been too upset about the victims of this and I couldn't handle watching them. But, even Jackie Wong who doesn't usually "wuzzrobbed" was disgusted by the scoring so I don't think we missed much.
I'd wait until they published their decision. I think that if the judgement was based only on these 2 factors the hearing would not have taken 6+ hours, and the IOC officials would have been less evasive when asked why KV was allowed to skate. They basically say they don't know the full story yet until CAS makes the full version of their ruling available.
) have not forgotten it. One of those skiers is a commentator at Olympics and people do remind about it and remember it, Finns ourselves. I remember it because I have went to same school with one of the doctors involved and still I get it hard to believe why so nice guy did it.
Again, even if there will be another country or athlete caught doping, it does not matter in this thread, since it is about Valieva from Russia.
There is no way of knowing that. It could be that points c and d from the CAS ruling were just as good by themselves.
It might not be uncommon to share a glass without washing it but it is 100% uncommon for it to be a way of sharing a medicine that dissolves not in water but in your intestines...is it really so uncommon to use the same glass (not at the dinner table of course)?
I know I can drink tap water and then place my glass next to the sink with some water left, which my boyfriend can easily drink up, and vice versa. We can also drink from the same water bottle in the car for example. We are not professional athletes under scrutiny though.
of course the scoring is disgusting... the doping news just confirm that the sport has been killed a while ago
You can address that question to the IOC. Why they think it is acceptable.
So why claim CAS "bought" this version? I just refer to what they did publish by now, not to what they might mean or think or imply...
It is relevent since he was 'investigated' for dopping for years(first claim was 1999) and their guy was allowed to compete so why would the Russians girl not be allowed the same due process?
I believe that's the poster's faulty reasoning. In that case, of course, the very simple explanation is that he never tested positive for a substance. Had he, the USADA would have banned him for the longest period possible.
Why should it be? What I meant was that if you don't check the label and consume something with a banned substance in it.
If i were a commentator, I would have kept silent during the performance. Again, nothing against Kamila, but against the people who manage her, and also the people who manage the sports entity. There were better decisions to be made.
