[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How horrific is it that a 15 year old was given a cardiac medication for performance enhancement?
I mean, she's f-ing 15.  She has youth and a freaking ton of natural energy.  And yet, they wanted to eek out what, an hour more of practice per day?
At the expense of possibly damaging her heart?

Seriously, this is the stuff of nightmares.

It isn't just to practice longer, it's so they have more stamina at the end of their long program, which is huge advantage in the scoring system. Remember, in the 2018 olympics, the difference between the gold and silver was that the gold medalist put most of her triples in the second half of her long program, which earns you extra points. The gold medalist had the same coach as Kamila.[/quote]

And at last year's World, the gold medal winner (same Russian coach) was so out of breath after her short program and there was a rumor that she was sick and could barely stay awake. Then during the long program, she was flawless and looked as if she had enough stamina for a redo if necessary. [/quote]

I have no doubt all the russians are being given PEDs, but I'm not sure they'd risk it in the middle of an actual competition like Worlds where testing is a given.  Most likely the "doctor" F-ed up with the dosing too close to Russian nationals and that was why Kamila still had some in her system.

But it's clear now that the whole testing system is a farce and not good enough.  Everyone's railing about Kamila being allowed to compete but does anyone really believe that the other two russian skaters are "clean"?  It's all a joke.[/quote]

It was at last years Russian Nationals that Anna Shcherbakova was very sick after the short program and managed to win the long program against an insanely deep field of Russian ladies. Clearly they weren’t too worried about getting caught at Russian Nationals.

[b]I had REALLY hoped that Kamila wasn’t aware of what was in her box of vitamins or whatever Eteri hands her and there would be serious international scrutiny of Sambo-70, Eteri’s training camp. However, the fact that she is going with the grandfather medicine excuse means she and her family are going to take the fall.[/b] [/quote]

This. Ugh.  [/quote]
