Not really familiar with athletic sports competitions or methods of compensation and amounts.

Your comment is informative on the situation.

Agree she had to be aware of the Laws in Russia.

Oh, well. She knew what the laws were in Russia and thought she could get away with ignoring them.

Of course, she’ll be ‘brought out’ by Biden just before the election.

Change my mind.

I Agree. Thanks, I forgot about that, let me modify my original comment to:

"Negro Lesbo Athletes are just so precious, and Pot Users are just so Saintly,"

Yep, she THOUGHT she could get away with it, and Biden will murder Russians until they agree with “her”, or more properly, it.

Why would I change your mind? It seems to operate OK as it is.

I thought she was arrested entering Russia, at least that’s what the stories at the time said.
