The International Olympic Committee delayed the medal ceremony for the team figure skating competition on Tuesday over what it said were "legal issues," but according to one report, a Russian skater has tested positive for drugs.
A source told USA Today on Wednesday that one of the six members competing for the Russian Olympic Committee tested positive for drugs after winning gold in the three-day team event that concluded on Monday.

How about Zoom Gold Ceremony,
Which also means somebody else didn’t qualify for the finals right?
“Committee has determined no Russian will win gold medal figure skating. Do what must be done.”
Not going to be good news for the Putin Xi alignment.
I wonder what kind of performance drug a figure skater would use, Beta Blocker maybe??
I assume the drug tests are conducted locally, meaning in China.
I’m surprised the China lab/officials had the courage to report a positive drug test from their Russian allies.
Doping, ski jumping in industrial waste-lands, disappearing athletes.....this commie olympics really is turning out as expected.
And the COVID prisons and crappy food to boot.
1) It’s a problem that a Russian skater has tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.
2) It’s not a problem if a male pretending to be a female takes performance suppressing drugs so that he can compete against the females and not the males.
Oh, the problems that are caused when governments start to pretend: witch hunts, slavery, genocide, abortion, and now pretending that homosexuality is normal. Next up: pretending that pedophilia is normal.
Thumbs UP.
The cooling towers do put off a weird vibe.
There have been rumors from those “in the know” in the skating community for some time now, that pupils of Russian coach Eteri Tuberidze were benefitting from use/abuse of non-sanctioned drugs.
Quad chick.
Canada came in 4th.
A Russian doping to cheat in the Olympics? Unheard of!

(And no, I’m not naïve enough to think that this is exclusively a Russian thing.)

I didn’t read it that way, I read it some woke IOC committee wanted to get a Russian out.
Well, at least she didn’t have a penis...
You clearly do not understand how the international elite works. Putin and China run things like the IOC. The IOC is incredibly anti-American.
Also I’ve lived in Russia recently. Just be aware that Wokeness originated in the Soviet Union and Marxist ideology...And no Russia is not “following Jesus” more. Those in power their just need to capitalize on Western weaknesses to make themselves feel better about their bitter decline.
This is what Russian propaganda does and it’s clearly working on you. You’ve never lived under Putin. Biden’s ineptitude and the leftism here (which was inspired by Russian-flavored Marxism by the way) — does not negate the corruption and Soviet ghosts that continue to haunt Russia and the way it operates at every level of society including its churches.
