[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]PP here and I agree- but I guess that goes along with what I was saying that I have doubts whether the responsible adults will face any consequences. If Kamila gets banned but Russia carries on with their antics, then the other skaters aren't getting protected either and we're back for waiting for a screwup/positive test. Would WADA, the IOC, etc. be able to investigate the club further, or would that only come from Russia (which we know would never happen). Like someone should really be taking hair samples from the other skaters.[/quote]
Right now only the RUSADA is investigating her coaching staff, which is meaningless. The IOC press briefing mentioned that they would be looking at her entourage, but I also get the sense that they rather stay out of it. [url=https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/us-anti-doping-act-should-be-used-beijing-games-usadas-tygart-2022-02-11/]Maybe the US will prosecute her coaching staff, but they may drop it if they get their gold team medal.

I don't suppose anyone is interested in why the lab took from Dec 25 to Feb 8 to report the results of the test?  Like, right after the skate but before the medal ceremony? That's hell of a coincidence.  And it really doesn't take THAT long to test a pee jar.[/quote]
There was a backlog due to a COVID outbreak, and figure skaters aren't high priority for testing. I think the only reason they ran it when they did was because she had just medaled, and needed to be cleared.[/quote]

Sorry, no, doesn't hold water.[/quote]

+1 - that's bull. The result was very clearly withheld to put her/Russia in the exact situation it is in now. [/quote]

Do you mean they withheld the results so that the entire world would be aware tha the Russian athletes continue to cheat?  Maybe. [/quote]

Do you have a theory as to why it took a Swedish lab until Feb 8 to process a sample submitted on Dec 25?  You have to agree the timing stinks.  To get the results AFTER she skates but BEFORE the medal ceremony? [/quote]
