Not surprisingly guilty as expected. Being Russian made things worst. I suppose her team knew about the dopping, again not surprise neither, Tutberidze coaching style....win at any cost.

[@only4fun457]

The world will never know who the guilty is but yes, Tutberidze team is the one to be banned, people in Russia knows their greediness when it comes to winning medals

Просто они талантливые и много работают. Тренировки по 12 часов...

Интересно получается если подсыпали это диверсия против тренера и против ребенка , у тренера ошибка что не написала заявление в полицию , что произошло загрязнение пробы по неизвестным причинам , тогда и нашли бы кто ?и для чего ?подсыпал.

It is necessary to pay attention to the monopolies of pharmaceutical companies. Why drugs that are not doping get into doping. You look at muscular American women and believe that their drugs are not doping and their artificially grown muscles do not help them in the results.

"Being Russian made things worse" And that's how you know that WADA and the like cannot be trusted to make a sound and unbiased decision.

I like Kamila but I agree with the decision. There shouldn't be any exception to those who violate the rules. Eteri's greed and monopoly backfired. Russia has so many talented skaters that aren't from Eteri's camp. Muravieva, Gorbacheva and especially Liza who should've been in Beijing instead of Kamila.

[@flaviadeluce8141]

I agree. But other athletes (even adult ones) who took the same medication/doped similarly did only get a ban up to six month. Such a harsh judgement is a result of Russians doping history and mainly of politics - and Kamila Valieva isn't responsible for that. I mean, it doesn't matter too much since the Russians aren't allowed to compete in big international tournaments since the start of the Ukraine invasion but it's still unfair in my eyes. I mean, yes, she needs to get punished but not in that way.

[@wkim22]

@@flaviadeluce8141 her ban was pretty much useless because it's effective Dec '21 to Dec '25. So she'll be back on Dec of 25. For all we know she might be one of the skaters Russia will send in '26. Russia can compete in Paris 2024 as neutrals so that says something about their return next season.

@@wkim22 I love how they say it's a ban but they're making sure it doesn't overlap with the next Olympics, so essentially it's useless. I like Kamila, but the Russians have always only gotten a slap in the wrist, first by being able to compete as neutrals after the doping scandal, then for the war, and now a ban that doesn't even interfere with being eligible for Milan. North Korea had a few athletes that doped and no one was allowed to compete in London 2012 as neutrals

[@wkim22]

@@mht4908 Russia and USA are both the same in terms of guilt. Shacarri Richardson (US-athletics) was banned before Tokyo for being positive. So they can quit the fake doping outrage. Ain't nobody buying it. I still can't believe Kamila made the Olympic team without her coaches confirming if her tests were cleared or not. It robbed Tuktamysheva of a spot, it robbed Trusova of the first quad at the Olympics landed in ladies singles. And now, Eteri's skater caused the team gold. Not that the team medal is worth that much anyway.

[@Yupiter2-km3zq]

It would be better to look at American athletes who have lost all feminine features. Serena Williams is a doping cannon, it's just that few people know about it. Does anyone worry that American athletes look like the Hulk?
