Not just that. Think of all the Russians athlets who had to accept that it is okay to dope...if you are Valieva. And had to compete and support her, despite being cheated by her, because they were literally locked in and not allowed to leave the country. Disgusting.
The coaching committee that selected and signed off on the team for team event.
That's the whole point--she is not and was not supposed to skate. Period.
They were within TAT. Russians didn't pay to rush samples. They got what they paid for, results processed on time and in a queue. It's not the lab's responsibility to babyseat their clients. The clients should be aware of TAT.
Yea thats why she gets banned from competing not get banned from her entire life because neither were they
Hmm, what came first though, the chicken or the egg?
Yea next time someone cheats in a piano competition, we'll ban them from competing but also come smash their piano in their house and cut their hand off just to make sure. Theyre arent supposed to play PERIOD.
Of course. In Russia there is a special law: as soon as a sports official receives any information or makes any decision, he must immediately inform Maya Bagriantseva about it, and in all details.
The entire life of a 17-years-old girl is resumed to figure skating? No school, no universities, no education, no friends, no hobbies, just figure skating? Well, if so, then that's a really tragic case.
She can skate on the frozen swamp, like that girl who lives in a tiny town in Siberia (and was cheerful about it, making into Nationals), so nobody takes away Valieva's 'piano'. Just because RusFed thought the rules don't apply to them, doesn't mean rules don't exist. Cheating is a grievous offense, and the penalty is proportionate. Cheaters must not prosper.
Frankly, they don't seem trustworthy at all. Obviously, wrong decisions were made. It's easy for them to say they were not in possession of all the facts regarding waiting on doping test results for Valieva. That seems highly unlikely.
Um yes they literally barely do school, all of their schooling is done at the skating academy, they even get degrees in sport education and guess which sport she focused on on her studies, her friends are all at the skating academy and professional athletes dont have "hobbies" or they wouldnt be the best. So good job, you deduced that it really is a tragic case.
do not let her prosper. PERIOD.There is no equivalence whatsoever in this vastly unrelated noncomparison.
They are the only ones who were making decisions and were privy to what happened. I would believe their testimonies in respect to what data they had on the table. Journalist wasn't there, period.
Agreed, my new comparison including crucifixion and hanging might sooth your anger more if you imagine it. Ban her from life whooo hooo
No, I think that her penalty was fine and appropriate. It is exactly as outlined in the guidelines and documentation. Where the penalties should go further, is in holding to account all those who enabled the cheating, covered up for the cheaters and abused the rest of the Russian skaters for 2 years instead of supporting justice and truth, as well as clean sport.Um yes they literally barely do school, all of their schooling is done at the skating academy, they even get degrees in sport education and guess which sport she focused on on her studies, her friends are all at the skating academy and professional athletes dont have "hobbies" or they wouldnt be the best.

I agree entirely. In fact I think maybe we should just lynch her, which do you think: crucifixion, burned at the stake or hanging? Or is this too merciful, maybe she should be placed in a prison for life with a pair of skates hanging before her eyes and old videos of her programs playing. I mean, after all, she is cheater cheater pumpkin eater
Indeed, her penalty of being banned from life was appropriate I agree. And clean sport does not exist so keep dreaming.
I'm sorry that you are so caught up in anger. It is not at all helpful to you or to anyone else.Agreed, my new comparison including crucifixion and hanging might sooth your anger more if you imagine it. Ban her from life whooo hooo
