[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 is bonkers. According to WADA rules, all medals and titles between the date of test and date of suspension are revoked. RUSADA isn’t denying the validity of the test. How is a DQ of ROC in the team event even still a question? How does RUSADA have any jurisdiction given how often they’ve been caught cheating. Russia isn’t even allowed to compete as Russia because of their doping! Wow, I bet there’s going to be a huge overhaul to the rules next games. Hopefully they’ll actually protect children from being doped and letting all the adults get away with it. [/quote]
