[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A thread on the new information that has come out about Kamila Valieva:

I mean... you can't make this stuff up. So, the organization with the jurisdiction to determine whether Kamila could or could not compete was... Russia's anti-doping organization (RUSADA). Russia can't compete as Russia in the Olympics because of their [i]state-sponsored doping[/i]! It's honestly laughable.

Thankfully the ITA is appealing the decision but who knows how long it will take. Will she be allowed to compete next week while still under investigation with the possibility of her medal being taken away at a later date? I just got a New York Times notification about this so it has definitely gone mainstream. There's no way she can skate under these circumstances, right?! Can you imagine what that would be like? What a mess. [/quote]

This poor girl. 15 years old, by herself without her parents, in another country, with only an abusive coach that probably gave her illegal drugs meant for adults, at the center of an international scandal. [/quote]

I didn’t really appreciate how young she is until I saw a picture of her without her stage makeup on. She’s little more than a child.

She’ll still win gold. It may or may not be taken away at a later date. In a year we’ll see the next crop of 14 year olds from Russia come up and be the new phenoms and she’ll be done with skating at the age of 19. No opportunity to mature in the sport, but who cares, right? Quads!! [/quote]
