Yeah, there’s a Jeffrey Toobin joke in here somewhere.

At the point Russians not testing positive just means they are getting better a not getting caught.

Likely the 15 year old screwed up by taking two pills when it should have been one. The rest of the team followed protocol to dope just enough to pass the test.

That cannot be his real name. He sounds like a character in a
John Waters movie. John Waters directed the bizarre and infamous
“Pink Flamingos” in 1972

Nice name, but I knew a guy named Richard Rider. His middle name might as well have been “do NOT call me Dick”.

Interesting name.

What was the story about again?

“:...banned heart drug Trimetazidine in a urine sample collected by Russian authorities on Dec. 25. ...”

I don’t understand how a Christmas Day urine sample can affect a performance the second week of February. If it were a horse race the winner would be sampled after the race.

I think the question is whether she should have been allowed to compete at all. If she failed a drug test at the Russian Olympic trials then she may have been subject to an automatic suspension.

If men can fraudulently compete as pretend women then what difference does any of this make? 🤪

I am taking a wild guess that China dopes just as much as Russia. It takes no courage for a Westerner to call out Russia but criticizing China is a different matter entirely.

yeeesh...

Dirty Freaking Russians. They cheated on every Missile Treaty they ever signed.

They can’t compete with their flag or anthem at the Olympics.

And they dope a 15 year old phenom, who landed the first quad in women’s skating. She is clear and above the best skater by a huge margin at the Olympics.

Why cheat? There is a foul smell within the Russian soul.

I flew with a PJ in the AF whose name was Carl P. Ennis. First time I flew with him I thought they were messing with me when I took the roll for the flight.

That’s a guy who takes matters into his own hand. It must be self satisfying.
