[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. That would be really unfortunate if she is unable to compete. :([/quote]

if she took a banned substance - rules are rules. Especially recreational drugs - that was her choice.

If it turns out to be something as stupid as a cold medication or something in her makeup, then I think THAT would be unfortunate.[/quote]

I read elsewhere the banned substance is trimetazidine, a “micro dose”, whatever that means, from a December sample.  Similar uses to melodium.

Considering she’s only 15, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that she was complicit in this. But considering the other two Russian competitors have the same coach/doctor, i imagine they will be under suspicion too.

After her long program earlier this week, I thought she looked unusually winded. Not that slaters often don’t look out of breath after programs but for some reason hers was more noticeable. Her program is unprecedented for female skaters.[/quote]

The fact that she competes for the ROC rather than Russia is enough to not give the benefit of the doubt to her or any other Russian athlete [/quote]

The fact is that even the system treats athletes under 16 differently than adults.  Obviously we don’t know the whole story yet but a 15yo should be able to depend on the trusted adults in their life and not be constantly suspicious they are being fed illegal substances.[/quote]
