I said promotes endurance. One helps with lactic acidosis buildup and shortness of breath.

What on earth are you talking about? What hateful mob? Kamila and her coaches put her in this position by giving her drugs that are banned for athletes. No mob forced her to take banned substances. She and her team broke the rules, plain and simple. The rules exist for all athletes, not just her. The grandfather story is ridiculous and not in any way based on science or medicine. This is pure Russian gas lighting. While I feel sorry for Kami as I don't believe she was aware of what her coaches were doing to her, it is not fair that she competes with clean athletes who didn't break the rules. There needs to be consequences that matter for those that break the rules other than competing without your country's flag before this is ever going to stop.
BUT... she is clean now so what difference does it make NOW ??
I still don't get this "she is a minor" argument by Cas... Just because a person is minor it does not mean he/she cannot be punished. Hence the existence of juvenile courts...

If you robbed the store two months ago, you face consequences for robbing the store now.
The fact that you are no longer robbing stores does not relieve you of facing those consequences.

That's funny...
That's funny...
I have another word in mind.
It should matter. She has no drug advantage over anyone, so the field is leveled. Deal with her past crimes later, they don't affect her skating NOW!

Ummm? Are you serious? That's not how the system works. One positive test for a banned substance, means a athlete is immediate suspended. Additionally, this type of doping wouldn't necessarily be extremely helpful in competing. It is helpful in allowing an athlete to train more and recover better which means they have more time to master difficult elements. The advantage provided would be long-term.

Don’t hire that lawyer. If she accidentally ingested it from a party the night before, it would have been out of her system before the competition.
Sabotage is a much better argument.
So explain to a lay person, then?

Wait, what? The United State FBI can put Eteri in jail for 9 years and make her pay a million dollar fine?
Russian Doping Scandal Fallout: FBI Could Investigate And Coaches Prosecuted Over Valieva Case
There will still be a full investigation into Valieva, even though she’s allowed to compete this week.www.forbes.com
Bad news for Eteri coaches team, they cannot travel to US and all other countries which have extradition treaties with United States.
Canada, Japan, South Korea...and more
List of United States extradition treaties - Wikipedia

Good news for Eteri coaches team, they can still travel to China and North Korea.
Have we all been transported to Bizarro Earth?
You can come up with a better analogy than that, I hope

For starters she broke the rules and cheated. And all those months (years?) of jet fueled training are surely helping her NOW.
Scroll up and read el henry's post. It doesn't get any clearer.
I don’t care if the US gets a Team gold. In fact, I have a bit of a problem with some of the team members getting a gold medal when Michelle Kwan doesn’t have one. This is not that big a story in the US, believe it or not. And the medal issue really doesn’t come up that much.I can only suggest people from North America to watch more B ESP or any other European coverage, it is much more realistic and truthful to the situation. Now i realize that problem with North Americans is not that 'clean sport' narrative they are pushing, it is sadly and only about the medals (dumb me). Because if Kamila were suspended, USA would get gold and Canada bronze... so let's just be real about what is behind all those media news. Unlike North America's media, there is no conflict of interest in Europe, so people can keep common sense there # sorry, not sorry

Actually, its a great analogy. But, I see you are going with the distract from the main point and insult the original poster strategy rather than the actually respond with applicable facts strategy. I assume because you don't have any facts in your favor?

True.
In fact, the U.S. public does not care much about the winter Olympics at all any more.
NBC’s Winter Olympics ratings are barreling toward a historic low
NBC is hoping to make up for lower ad rates by airing the games on more platforms, including TikTok and Peacock
