The only way is to get Chinese police (even with some bulls** excuse) to arrest TT for child abuse before they leave Beijing. But I don't think it will work...

That will depend on whether she drinks out of Grandpa’s mug again!
I do think that Medvedeva is retired at an early age. After she left Russia and came to Canada, she just couldn’t cut it, I wonder why?
Only one was caught Doping!

What are you smoking over there? In Moscow or St Petersburg you won't even get an apartment for $52,800 . In the suburbs perhaps. But not a decent house for sure. A decent car, yes. Not sure what's your idea of "wealthy" but that's not what they call "wealthy" in Moscow.

Here in Czech Republic even $250 000 would hardly be enough for an apartment in Prague so you're still good
Out of curiosity how much is an apartment in Moscow?
It didn’t show the drama on CBC but it seems that their was world war 3 involving the Russian skaters and a lot of Drama between themselves…

Yeah the last 10 minutes of screen time or so weren't pleasant,
but to be fair there was an unusual amount of great skating from the Women tonight.
I am not smoking over anything. And I said RUSSIA not Moscow. Moscow is one of the most expensive cities of the world globally. But you can buy an apartment for instance in Perm for the fifth of the price in Moscow.
And I am not smoking over anything becuase I did not say olympic champions do not deserve it.

I'd say at twice this money you can get a small one or a somewhat bigger in poor condition. And far from a good neighborhood. On the other hand, Moscow doesn't have those real "bad neighborhoods" like in US cities. In Moscow they're far from the center but at least they're not dangerous or all junkyard.

OK in Perm you can buy an apartment but still that's not "wealth" by any standard in Russia. That's just not India or Bangladesh - with all due respect to both these countries.

I didn't watch the women's event because I couldn't support abuse. But I saw enough comments about the event to know it was traumatic to say the least. I really hope that even though Valieva didn't medal the investigation will go on. Those young women deserve better than to be treated badly by their coach and be doping guinea pigs. It really doesn't matter who won, the big issues are still at play. I hope WADA actually does something and the CAS actually allows real actions to be taken. If not, more young woman and girls will be abused, and this sport will be tainted..

As long as they do not test positive and there is no evidence presented of systematic doping in their training program, there's zero reason to ban Sasha or Anna or Liza from international competition. They should expect more 'random' tests that are not actually random but that's the price for trying to make the system fairer to all involved in the sport.
The odds are non-zero others in TT have dabbled in TMZ but that's a long way from any real proof that they did anything wrong.
I haven't read the US-anti-doping law but would be interested to know if it allows for injured parties to sue for cciviil damages in US Courts. Because if it does, there are probably an infinite number of US lawyers that would be willing to take on Loena Hendrickx as a client on a contingency basis (no legal fee up front but the lawyer gets about 1/3 of any legal settlement reached in a civil court) over a claim that she suffered damages because she was only 4th at Euros behind a doper rather than being a medalist that would have been better positioned to get sponsorships ahead of Beijing.
