Team medals delayed by legal issue

Maybe the cat peed on one of the costumes??

I think the Team Event was pretty stupid and OVERLY COMPLICATED enough to begin with.

When will they institute the Best Outfit awards or points??
 
Oh, well. Feel bad for the guys, they worked hard for that medal. Hopefully, they will announce a decision soon enough to at least let people who can compete in individual events.

Cannabis is made legal in Estonia. Lots of shops & cafe sell it in cakes, drinks , ice cream you name it. It was initiated by the police claiming it helps to fight drug related crime. The Euros were in Estonia just a thought could it be somehow connected? But it would be too long ago for test to pick it up, no?

Cannabis is definitely NOT legal in Estonia and no stores allowed to sell it either directly or in cake form... You must be mistaking Estonia for some other country.

There is now allegedly information from NBC Sports that it is indeed about marijuana and the skater involved is Katsalapov. I cannot find the original source, though. Can anyone confirm this?

Oh....well would that still strip ROC their medal? And would that disqualify S/K from the individual event.

If that’s the case that it is pot, then I’m a bit relieved tbh.

But to just now be coming back? I wonder if Russia is fighting that saying if they knew the skater wouldn't have been sent to the Olympics and competed

Then Russia skating fed should take responsibility before any international event and drug test everyone especially after their last Olympic scandal.

I think someone tried really hard to dig this information and put pressure on ROC Team before individual events. I think it’s something minor or fake. I believe Russia took all the tests super seriously, they have so many alternates to avoid a mess…

Seems they would have done this before the team event since disqualifying anyone from that event would delete their scores, and the medal.
 
This happened decades ago when I was a child. But Finland was about to win ice hockey bronze. The goal keeper was tested positive, the reason was told to be medicine for flu. The goal keeper was disqualified from the rest of the games and the result of that game - but only that game - was also disqualified and they gave the won to Czechoslovakia, Finland was allowed to continue and placed 4th. In competitions like relay the whole result must be understandably rejected, but how about in competitions where the performances are individual and other athletes results does not depend on another's performance at individual level?
 
I don't trust Inside The Games so we can't say that it is Kami for sure, but their take that the situation is very complex with Kamila being underage would explain the delay. We know it's a failed drug test, so the fact that there has been no official announcement yet us surprising.
 
I would never believe Valieva took anything, Eteri would never risk a medal or her reputation… not to mention Valieva couldn’t have smoked pot… it is still very unclear. I believe she might have failed to fill something in the system.

Hard to say but if Valieva's scores are not counted I'm pretty sure Canada wins the bronze. This would destroy her chance for the individual 🥇, too. If she's at the center of the scandal, we won't get more information since her privacy as a minor should be respected.

I also don't trust this source though. I would wait for Brennan's report.. Although, I think she is too ethical to provide details about a minor.
