What I don't understand is why no one is criticizing the athlete's coach (who is most definitely at fault here). She is a minor and should not be getting her face and name dragged everywhere whilst her coach is not even metioned.
If that’s the reason to support the athlete then this leaves the door to loopholes in the Olympics. Don’t blame the athlete so give her the medal but the couches will take the fall.
I believe that people forget that before being an athlete, she is a 15 year old girl taking a heart medication that is not made for children. That is incredibly dangerous and I sincerely don't think she would have taken it on her own. Her team medic has a history of doping scandals and her coach is brutal, you can research them. I'm not saying she should not be held accountable, I'm just saying that the adults in charge of her should be investigated and punished accordingly.
@@saras98011 that 15 year old girl has most likely been competing since she was 6. She knows exactly what is going on. Her youth is in NO WAY an excuse.
actually i think its her parents fault, she should be banned from this year, but lets be honest, a 15 year old isnt gonna know every drug on the banned list she trusts her parents to make sure her coaches treat her and others fairly
Yuna Kim had to refuse to take a pill of pain killer to comply with doping rules even when she was suffering from painful injury. But then later in 2014 she was robbed of gold medal by lower ranking Russian skater whose urine sample found damaged and whose performance was poor. Now Russia knowingly sent doped skater to Olympics. I am a fan of figure skating and I was memerised by Kamilla’s performance but I dont want to see her in the competition today. They knew that they could slip away. What is Russia doing to this sport?
COMPETING does NOT mean "WINNING" ... Why deny her the chance to compete? If she can skate under all this pressure, she is a champion in my book. Her trainers failed her and they are NOT being held to account.
@@khubza8999 Because that is the rule that all other athletes respect and comply with. Not complying with these rules, whether it was done by the adults or the athlete, means disqualification to compete. Cometition itself should be fair and equal to everyone. People that say it is ok should feel shameful. It is a matter of integrity and some people clearly are lacking it. In addition, this is clearly child abuse. Who on earth give doping medicine to 15 year old skater? You think allowing the skater, who has been doped by adults, to compete will help her? No way.
It's not just about the medals. It's about having the Olympic moment stolen from the clean athletes. That moment when the scores come up and all the results come in.
and what do you mean by that? let's not talk about doping now, but just look at who skated their program how. everyone can hate, but look at reality and then draw conclusions, only some
@@tomagasanova798 we have to talk about doping it throws everything into question including how she skates nope this is a doping scandal it's disgusting and ruins the Olympics for everyone but I guess Russia thinks it's the most important and no one else matters I hope all the other athletes boycott this event and refused to compete against her
@@janechoy2073 давайте поговорим о допинге ваших спортсменов) окей? Посмотрите на своих , потом осуждайте других. Это политика, здесь нет никакого отношения к спорту и допингу, здесь только политика. Просто у кого-то глаза закрыты и не видят всю правду!
This is the 6th consecutive Olympics where Russia/USSR had been caught cheating. What makes you think they are going to change? If a guy walks into a bank 6 different times and robs it, what do you think he will do when he comes in the 7th time? This is a total insult to all those athletes who compete honestly. Ban all Russian athletes from all competition for 10 years. Maybe that might convince them to compete honestly.
It seems kinda no one American was caught on doping. But usually they have medical paper allowing them to use doping. The competition is kinda more "fair" to Europeans, and especially Americans. Because they chose better country to born.
Again, excellent points. I hope the IOC is trolling social media and seeing what kind of backlash they are facing in destroying the Olympics…. Possibly forever.
The U.S. let Lance Armstrong cheat 7X to win the Tour De France. They let Barry Bonds, Jose Conseco, Mark McGuire hit a million home runs while on supersteroids. How about all the football players? Anybody who thinks sports is clean is delusional.
Apparently the latest news is that her defense was there was some kind of mix up with her granddads medicine. That’s as about as good as an excuse as “dog Ate my homework”
But, there is a logic- Her grandpa takes her to his home after trainings ( he lives near the ''Christal ice rink''- it's about 40 km, but they say that it's almost near- on a Moscow scale) and he spends a lot of time with her when her parents are out of home. Her mom said that Kamilla's grandpa is a heart patient who uses TMZ and Kami accidentally took his glass didn't knowing that it has been previously used by her grandpa with that medicine. Do you really think that Rus skating Fed would risk with its top skater ( and the main favorite for Olympics gold) by giving her a drug that can be easily detected in her sample while they know very well that Russia is under strict global supervision due to previous doping scandal ????? Don't worry, The Court will certainly consider all factors including ''Sambo 70'', Kamilla's coaching team , doctors and of course her grandad medicine documents, i believe. This is process .
not likely considering that drug will let a young person train those 10,000 spins hundreds of times in a practice session thats how they get so good they dont have to stop because theyre doping during training.
@@nenavujicin7882 you really think taking a sip out of someone’s glass of water is enough to leave traces in your system? That’s not how it works. Unless her grandpa decided to give her water by spitting down her throat with his medication still in his mouth constantly, then this is just a very silly excuse.
What do the Russians have over the ruling body at the Olympics to allow this cheating take place? The rest of the skaters should pull out, leaving the cheater and suspected cheaters all alone. This would serve them right. Cheating is cheating and should not be tolerated - especially at this level!
This is the 6th consecutive Olympics where Russia has been caught using or doing something that is banned. This is government sponsored cheating. The world will always question any Olympic medal that was “won” by a member of a Russian team.
2014 Sochi Olympics: Yuna Kim should be the gold medalist! But they gave it to Sotnikova, a Russian, whose scores were undeniably inflated both in the Short Program and Free Skate even if her performancs recorded underrotation, two-footed landing, wrong-edge and substandard execution compared to Yuna Kim whose performances were almost perfect and done artistically according to her planned programs! A lot of people around the world including commentators and great figure skaters expressed injustice but what did IOC do? 2022 Beijing Olympics: Valieva, again a Russian figure skating athlete, is found to be positive with a banned drug and she is still being allowed to compete! What? Even if the drug test was in December 2021, the drug already made it's positive effect on her. Valieva may not have the full knowledge about this because she's just 15 y/o, but I believe that somehow, Valieva and her parents know something. Valieva, her coaches and her doctors should be held liable and should not allow to compete. The act of letting her take a banned drug was a premeditated disregard of the rules and law of the sports. I admire Valieva upon seeing her performances but justice for all should prevail. She's just 15 y/o hence, she still has many opportunities in the future. Representatives from other countries who tried their best to abide with the rules and regulations and have the potential to win medals should not be punished just because Valieva is allowed to compete. This is another shameful and biased decision from the IOC.
Let’s not forget another scrawny 15 yo in 2018 with the stamina to execute all her triples after the 2 minute mark. Even Nathan Chen showed signs of fatigue in his long program. Tiny girls with no physical strength who somehow can do an entire program of jumps in 2 minutes. That’s not suspicious? It’s ridiculous.
@@Tenebarum your ass is on fire? envy silently, no one is interested in your opinion, you probably can’t lift your ass from your seat, so you’re furious here. they all received well-deserved medals. even with all the aggression from all sides, these "skinny" little girls are kicking your ass! live with it! your athletes will never surpass these little girls! if we talk about doping, then we all know that this is politics and no one has used any doping. They are not Simone Biles, who was doping by the kilo, ahah!
We all know the problem here is the coach Eteri Tutberidze. That bitch ruined so many girls, pushing them for early retirement with injuries and now she added kamila to the list. Poor girl 😔
Breaking NewS: All athletes doped. Yes i know, rules are to dope with undetectable/non-known ones by the FDA, except for China, who always bribe the committee. Reality is not what you just said there. And please do tell, why only Russian athletes are getting found and banned after they invaded Ukraine in 2014 ? I thought sports got nothing to do with politics, same with "genders", why allow people based on imaginary genders, leftist politics, oh well.
If she didn’t retest to make sure it’s not a false positive, she should have never been allowed on the ice. Also, since when is marijuana an enhancing drug?? I feel badly for all the athletes who are competing fairly.
debating the validity of drugs on the banned list is not the issue at hand here. Until the banned list is changed - all athletes must be held accountable. Richardson and the US held her accountable - they remain integral to the sport and herself as an Olympian. Not the Russians here.
marijuana can relax muscles, ease anxiety, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation... it has a bunch of benefits that could be considered positive depending on what you wanna use it for
I missed the detail when it was said that she tested positive for marijuana. If that is the substance she tested positive for, then the rules against 'doping' are perverse. There is no athletic advantage to be gained from marijuana use whatsoever.
@@SaraKochanny Sara, the things you are claiming marijuana can do have absolutely no basis in science. In some people it can ease anxiety, but in others it can heighten it. That one is situational. As for the rest ... Lower blook pressure. No, some evidence points instead to it temporarily increasing blood presssure. Relaxing muscles - not as a direct cause; perhaps if the person happens to have anxiety and gets a relief from it (again, circumstantial / situational). I've never seen any reliable scientific data showing that cannabis reduces inflammation - though this sounds very much like the kind of claim that those who promote cannabis on pseudomedical grounds will make. There are proven medical benefits to cannabis use in some conditions. However, many of the claims made for it by some of its promoters are VERY premature. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Be careful where you get your information. In the meantime, if you enjoy a spliff and your doctor thinks it is fine in your case, go for it.
She's starting to participate in the lies and cover-ups oh the sympathy for her is declining because yes she's 15 years old but these athletes are very intelligent and sophisticated when it comes to what goes into their bodies
I agree that at 15 years old, you should be competent enough to know what meds are going into your body. However, she needed adults around her to force her hand into taking it, encouraging it, allowing it, and trying to cover up for it. There are many adults at fault here.
@@sara.cbc92 The athlete most likely is not aware of it. It's Russia. If they don't tell you. You can sit there and honestly say i don't do it. Because you don't know you do.
@@bellajane8742 hiding it in food. telling her shots she is getting are something else. You are trusting in your trainers as an athlete. If they are giving you something you don't know about. You don't know about it. Russia has been at this for a long time.
It's so tragic, it's actually hilarious now. Remember, the Russians have been so bad with drug usage and being caught, each and every Olympic of the last 16 - 20 years, they are now, have been for a couple Olympic cycles now, competing under the ROC symbol, not the "Russia" symbol which would have allowed them to carry their Russian flag and year their national anthem, when they win a medal. Now, some of them ACTUALLY GET TO COMPETE even with banned drugs in their system, due to an age issue, due to concerns about her being "irreparably" harmed if she's kicked out, due to late drug reporting, etc. All of a sudden the MERIT, as even CAS says, is NO LONGER the issue at heart! Funny and tragic at the same time. And, get this.... these Russians (coaches, athletes, doctors, sporting officials) & their supporters/Russian bots are blaming the USA, Europeans/the West, the IOC, etc. for these drug problems that consistently show up in their urine samples! Are Chinese, Americans, Norwegians, Spanish, Italians, South Koreans, Japanese, Germans, Fins, Brits, et al also having persistent drug issues like the Russians? Nope! May be one isolated case here or there, once in two or three Olympics, OR before it and was caught and barred from Olympic trials... not not consistently and persistently like the Russians...
the West is fighting with an innocent Russian child, while most Western athletes use doping and claim that they have the right to do so because they are "asthmatics" and the doctor prescribed this "medicine". Why are most Western athletes "asthmatics"??)))
@@ЭЮЯ-о3к Why Valieva won the national title last dec. 25 as she had Trimetazidine on her body at the time of competition. If the Valieva's doping test results revealed before the end of 2021, her national title will be stripped away and make Alexandra Trusova (initially won silver) will be upgraded to GOLD. Shcherbakova for SILVER and Petrosian as BRONZE. For national team selection, Tuktamsheva must be regular line up for 2022 European Championships and 2020 Winter Olympics along with Trusova and Shcherbakova. Petrosian, in other hand cannot compete at 2022 Olympics because she also competing for Juniors division.
Yeah, new rule created only specifically for Russians, because Russians can be bullied by everybody, this what Uncle Sam said. Before though everybody could compete and be awarded and than if somebody was caught cheating, their medals would be taking away. Remember Armstrong - not cheating clean flock of people of US.
Russia has been caught doping all their athletes before, why do they deserve a different set of rules from everyone else? They don’t deserve to be included in the next several Olympics imo
@@jamesbedichek6106 Nope, where from you have this mad information? You are so brainwashed and talk stereotypes. What do you mean all athletes? Stop to generalise all Russian people like Nazis did to Jews. You are Nazi and racist. I can understand now why black people start to protest in US at least. It’s obvious you call all nation to be something different from rest of world. Put your head on - we have RUSADA twerp, so we are checking our athletes, some countries don’t even have it like Ukraine for example. We have much less athletes caught taking doping than US for sure and they allowed to compete despite that they shouldn’t be and it’s OK for US. Seriously You should love us for our unbelievable patience really, you forget that we do have nuclear weapons, maybe we should become evil like you wish. You don’t deserve us to be clean cause you all in doping in any case. Only one Norway, little country leading at Olympic table. But sorry I forget Norwegians in elite club and allowed to take high performance drugs for lungs prescribed to them by their doctor and WADA Ok with it 😂
Even the junior figure skaters are tested for ILLEGAL doping, beginning as young as 12-years-old. They are also educated on the consequences of ILLEGAL doping, and the lifelong harm it can cause to their young bodies. They cannot say that they simply did not know right from wrong regarding this matter.
I struggled with that until I saw the interview with Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski that talked about that very thing. Both said they took their first drug tests when the were around 12 years old and both remembered their moms calling to clear things as simple as OTC cold medications.
@@ranelgallardo7031 Since US won 2nd, they do anything to get the gold medal even thru December 2021 doping issue. Why You Brenan didnt convey it before the olympics, so that Russian can change the athletes. It is because US second she start playing the role of a judge over Russia as the winner. What a fake Olympics steered by US fabrication.
@@Grizathvili Why is it always Russia that’s accused of doping? Because it’s Russia that is supporting doping as a country basically. Even with Russia’s doping, the US still has more medals than them right now, so why would they be worried about losing a couple of medals…you’re just delusional and a supporter of the destruction of a 15 year old’s body.
Agreed and my heart breaks for athletes that made mistakes and then were not allowed to compete and took the L and waited their turn. All this showed was that privilege means the rules don't apply to everyone
All three medal contenders are from the same state sponsored club. The head coach decides what these girls do, eat, drink, take, say. Some former students of the club said these adolescent athletes have to check their weight three times a day. The medical advisor, who has been caught for assisting doping in the past, follows the team for every competition. The skaters are recruited from very young age and typically retire at the age of 16-18 y.o.. Life long injuries and mental illnesses including anorexia have been reported.
The video description has an error, it wasn’t an IOC decision to allow Valieva to compete, it was a ruling by the court for arbitration of sport (CAS). The IOC was one of the 3 parties trying to stop her from competing by challenging Russia’s decision to lift Valieva’s mandatory provisional suspension hours after it was imposed for a positive test of a banned substance (the other 2 parties challenging the lifting of the suspension were the World Anti-doping Agency WADA and the International Skating Union ISU)
I think I actually one of the saddest parts is that Kamila Valieva would have probably done great without the Doping. But now she's going to be doubted forever and probably doubt her own abilities. she's a freaking talented kid.
I don't think so... drug can bring human's ability to beyond level. She still might become a good figure skater even without the drug but I'm not sure if she can get a medal.
@@ordinarydude2237 What do you mean? Russia wasn't this good as nowadays in figure skating 8 years ago. They suddenly rose and became the country that constantly produces a lot of great figure skaters. What's wrong with my mindset? I'm just saying my opinion. Do you have any problems?
@@bv3x673 you wanna drug yourself just to be called good? Nah, sorry, you're pitiful at that point. One reason Russia could not rise up is because of their own environment that in the end kills their own talents.

So bad that those hardworking athletes cannot perform better than Valieva in any scenario... She can outperform them with or without the founded substance.
There is a difference in age, but that brings up the fact that if she’s not responsible because she’s a child, she shouldn’t be there. I agree with Adam Rippon. #sendherhome
@@dranchd6571 If that’s the only way you see it. Gary Hall jr is a white guy from a wealthy family who was suspended for testing positive for weed. She’s an idiot for smoking it before the Olympics knowing full well she could get caught and she was caught. The US does not have the authority to suspend any athletes but their own. Her case was cut and dried. This is a little murkier.
Sha'Carri met consequences and most Americans agreed that the rules are rules. We do not take our athletes doping with lightness. I am in agreement with a BAN!...🖒. The only way to return respect back to this sport. This is horribly unfair!
It is difficult to understand from the culture of each country. Here in the United States, it is common for girls to have sex at 13. They know how to handle contraceptives or the morning after pill. There are those who consume drugs such as cannabis, crack, among other chemicals. And that makes us harder to judge a 15-year-old and not see it as a child. There are exceptions children with moral values and they are known because they are dedicated to their studies, home, sports, and respect their parents. I've met American kids like that, and they're the ones who make it. Let's dare to see the Russian culture, putting aside its government, Putin and the cold war stuff. Russia is a country that does not have the freedom to choose its rulers. They teach their children to respect their parents, to respect elders, that they have to get married and start a family. There are not so many drug problems. Sports are encouraged. When they turn 18 they know they have to get married, and they usually do so young. Young women get pregnant between the age of 21. And they are prepared to be mothers and wives. While a woman of that age here in the USA does not even consider getting married and does not feel prepared to be a mother and have an abortion. Kamila is 15 and she is a girl. She doesn't know about drugs. She does not have the malice of ambition. She admires her classmates and she knows how to lose and she showed it when she participated in Senior and Anna beat her. She gets up every day and goes to train, and studies and does her homework. She left many things from people her age. Let's learn to see according to the culture of each country. As for the government, it is a disaster. But let us remember that they do not have the right to choose.
@@luissabino9781 Taking responsible for your own actions is taught across all cultures. If she was forced to take the drug then it is sad but allowing her to compete is extremely unfair on all those other kids who are working so hard out there.

Test gets sent to Sweden and somehow gets delayed for two months and somehow perfectly gets delivered right now? Someone is playing a game here. The bigger issue is the actual abuse of very young teenagers, destroying their own bodies, to skate. This should be the WOMEN'S skating, i.e. only over 18s allowed. No underweight children destroying their backs and general bone structure. They also tend to have amenorrhea as they are kept underweight, at a critical time for skeletal bone growth which is adversely affected by oestrogen deficiency.
Why valieva surpassed the loopholes of doping testing? Her national title must be stripped away and then recognize Alexandra Trusova as the Russian National Figure Skating Champion for 2021.
New message from the IOC: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) told how a banned substance - trimetazidine - could have entered the body of 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. According to the head of the disciplinary committee Denis Oswald, it could have got there with the product that her grandfather used. A similar case is already known when this substance was found in the body of an athlete who treated his relative with it.
IOC has multiple times showed that it never about right or wrong. Never about the athletes. It's about money they can make. Look at what happened to Peng.
Да, это позор всем , кто её осуждает и думает, что зная о всех правилах, она бы приняла допинг... пусть бог подарит всем этим комментаторам мозги, аминь
This girl absolutely deserves to be banned from the competition. No medal ceremony? What about the young women who earned the right to stand up there, cleanly and fairly? They just don't get their moment in the spotlight because she was allowed to compete. That's harmful. The good of the many, the good of fair sport far outweighs the good for one athlete. Russia deserves to actually be banned from the Olympics. A much better comparison than Sha'Carri Richardson is Andreea Raducan from Romania. At the summer Olympics in 2000, her all-around gold medal was stripped because she tested positive for pseudoephedrine - Sudafed. She was only 16 years old. That substance is no longer banned. If Kamila gets to keep her medals, somebody better call Andreea and tell her there was a huge mistake. I say raise the age 10 18. Across the board. You have to be 18 to compete in the Olympics. This is a disgrace.
I whole heartedly agree. Change the overall age to 18 to compete in the Olympics - two issues solved. 1) All would be adults and held accountable to banned substances period. 2) All would be more fully developed, so children wouldn't have the advantage over older athletes after bodily changes during puberty makes it unfair for older athletes to compete especially in sports like figure skating & gymnastics.
She maybe 15 but she isn't naive, she should morally state she will pull out of competition. Hope justice will prevail and revoke Russia with the gold medal 🏅.
Would she be this good if she wasn't taking enhancing drugs? She should be taken out immediately and banned forever. Rule are rules. If you can't follow the rules, don't play. Allowing her to skate on the premise of she's 15, young, innocent, you shouldn't punish her - that's a slap to all the other skaters' faces and telling them their efforts and playing fair doesn't matter. And if she lands in the top 3, no medal ceremony but she still gets the medal anyways - why are we punishing the other skaters and awarding her for her and Russia's behavior? Corruption at its finest. She shouldn't be allowed to compete in figure skating ever again. And all her medals should be stripped.
artistically yes. she probably would not be able to do the quads. i'm guessing it's steroids. it usually is with Russia. And there is a decent chance the athlete is unaware of it. or at least has not choice in the matter.
I totally agree She has a brain she knows right from wrong she shouldn't get a slap on the Wrist when I was 15 someone offered me pot n I told them I do not put no drugs in my body ppl need to stop saying shes a child she a teenager n knows what not to put in there body

The only positive thing Sha'carri did was not lie about it when she got caught. respect her for that. Kamila is lying saying she ACCIDENTALLY took her Grandfather 👴 medicine.
The American, Canadian, Japanese, South Korean, French etc women skaters left in the competition should all call Russia’s bluff and refuse to take part in the women’s competition. Yes, this is the Olympics and they’ve worked so hard, but it’s basically just a participation competition because they are competing against Russian children dopped by Russian adults. That’s the only way to make the ISU listen.

Listen, she performed at the Grand Prix, then at the Russian Championship, then at the European Championship, at the Olympic Games itself, and all the tests for all the time are clean, isn't anyone surprised by the fact that there is one test with a microdose? Or do you want to make her guilty so much that no one notices the obvious fact of her deliberate withdrawal from the competition?
It doesn't matter what her past tests were. What matters is the testing in the Olympic games, and she was caught. "Or do you want to make her guilty"... You are pathetic for putting this on the audience. Rules are rules, everyone else is following it, so you should too, its only fair that way. It's disgusting to even defend her for what has happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it was the adults around her who made her cheat, and not her decision alone, but cheating is cheating; and its sick for the Olympic committee to even allow her to skate.
I am tired of seeing people say that we are picking on a 15 year old. It is not about that. Yes she is a minor but since a young age we are taught that doping has consequences. This is a slap in the face for others. They should banned them
The Russian athlete has never taken doping, not a single commission has proven this. The decision was not based on facts, but on theory... these are fantasies... on the basis of which honestly earned awards were specially selected. Political games.

She said that these tests are so sensitive that they can even reveal a drug that was drunk a few months ago. If she is training (as many people say here) or regularly used this medication, then tests will definitely reveal it even after a long time. If only one of the three samples turned out to be positive, then it becomes a matter of deliberate sabotage or accidental ingestion of a small amount of drugs into the body. This is a Lynch trial of a child who was sacrificed by adult uncles and aunts so that people around the world would be distracted from the dirty deeds they are currently doing in Ukraine🥶
Tell that to the scientists at WADA. I guess they don’t know about the esoteric field of doping. Given the track record of state sponsored doping in Russia she should have been suspended and expelled from the Games.
@@mrparts Oh, they know everything well, they weren't going to punish her, but the case somehow got publicized in a strange way, they are now doing everything under pressure from those who pay them big taxes. Have you noticed that now they are doing everything to inflate the scandal, to blame the bad guys from Russia, who magically, only since Sochi, started using drugs all the time, and where were they before?No, really, they are caught on this so often after Sochi, and before they were always chesmny, it's funny to me))) but at the same time, there are so many athletes from other countries who also use drugs, but say that it is for health. And does it not contribute to their effectiveness? Of course, it helps them, they behave dishonestly with clean athletes, but the BRAIN says that they are sick and therefore drink this medicine)))), I want to add that you don't think that I'm for an unfair game or propagandizing for Russians, no, I was deeply saddened by how the Sochi Olympics were not fair, I said then that it was not fair to buy athletes from other countries, buy judges (I didn't know about drugs), I knew that even more Russian athletes would be punished for this, and this is now confirmed. If Kamla Valieva were from another country, her positive test, which was taken in December, which does not affect her results in any way, would not have affected her participation in the OI in any way. Russian Russians, I'm for honesty, not for Russians (Camila is not Russian).
In the interest of fairness and justice, I do believe that Kamila should not be allowed to compete and that Russia should receive a legitimate punishment, but the other part of me is like, *"Man this girl is so talented and she has clearly worked her butt off to get to where she is, what a shame for her not to compete!"* I just wish her coaches hadn't pressured her into taking the stupid drug, because she probably would have won anyway with all that talent. 🤷♂️
@@rajs7876 I don't know about nothing, but her achievements have definitely been tainted. It would have been interesting to see what she could have done without the drugs. It's an unfortunate situation all the way around, but for the sake of Olympics integrity she should definitely *not* be allowed to compete
All the other Athletes have worked their "butt[s] off" too, and none of them have failed a drug test. The rules are clear - she should not be competing. The board that have allowed this are making a mockery of the sport and the Winter Olympics.
What they said is she is allowed to participate because she has tested negative over and over prior to the Olympics and during the Olympics daily. The investigation is related to a positive test back on Dec. 25th, that was not handled properly , in short order, normally in a 10 to 15 day span. These results were not revealed until Feb. 7th the day after the Olympic Team event. Are there any adults in question ? As to the testing agency, maybe they should do some other line of work that is less time sensitive.

I agree. We don’t need those cheaters at the Olympics. There are many outstanding athletes from around the globe. The Olympics will be better without them.
Hackers released records on four female American Olympic athletes: tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, gymnastics multi-gold medallist Simone Biles and basketball player Elena Delle Donne. These files show approvals by doctors for the athletes to use otherwise banned medications like Adderall or hydrocortisone for medical reasons. The files published online also relate to American swimmers Jack Conger and Kathleen Baker, tennis player Bethanie Mattek-Sands, basketball player Brittney Griner, fencer Dagmara Wozniak, track and field athletes Deanna Price and Michelle Carter, water polo player Mcquin Baron, diver Sam Dorman and wrestler Tervel Ivaylov Dlagnev. Conger was awarded a gold medal in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay alongside teammates Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, but didn't swim in the final. Conger was also present during the infamous gas station incident involving Lochte. Baker earned a gold and silver in Rio. Griner and shot put competitor Carter both won gold. Wozniak and Dorman brought home silvers. leaked files show approvals by doctors for the athletes to use otherwise banned medications as well.
In fact, in each of the situations, the athlete has done everything right in adhering to the global rules for obtaining permission to use a needed medication...
@@accutronitisthe2nd95 I am sure they did. With physicians like Lawrence Gerard Nassar I am sure any kind of manufactured or coached "symptoms" and subsequent prescription is possible regardless if it is necessary or if it is just an excuse to use banned enhancement drugs.
Valieva is 15! She did everything her coach told her to do. She should take a year off to make sure the drugs are out of her, before she competes again. Her coach deserves a lifetime ban.
Cheater always find excuses all the time. I am not feel sorry for this young lady. She knew exactly what she doing. She 15yr old she was not 1 yr old, that someone have to forced her to take medication.
It wasn't steroids. It was a banned substance for heart medication that increases endurance. The difference between Sha'Carri Richardson and Kamila Valieva is that 1) Kamila is a minor and the rules are more complicated for "protected persons". 2) There have been cases previously where athletes tested positive for banned substances but it turned out to be from another source, not because they were doping. American Madisyn Cox tested positive for the same banned substance, but it was proven her multivitamins were contaminated with it at the factory. American Jessica Callalang tested positive for another substance, it turned out because her makeup was made with that substance and contaminated her sample. 3) Because this result JUST came out, Kamila doesn't have enough time to put together a case for herself before her skate competition. Believe me, both weed and steroids are seen as equally offensive to the Olympics officials
The ban should starting right now, Completely unfair to ALL other athletes. This will be the down fall of the Olympic Games. This world is way out of control
@@Grizathvili I would love to hear their reasoning actually. And why they didn't demand she test negative before taking the ice. as in get tested now. i have no idea.
@@MPlain the IOC wanted her banned, it was the Court of Arbitration for Sport that let her compete. Their reasoning was slightly bizarre - they said pulling her out of the games would cause her “irreparable damage” because of her age.
She is ignorant journalist that plays with the facts for the sake of click bait. No investigation and no even thorough reading of the situation. Just loud populistic noise to make a scandal and put pressure on a kid because she is from a "wrong" country. Oh that's OK with Simona Biles taking serious stimulants (Adderall and Ritalin) because she has "exception" - adhd. "Exception" or not that drugs DO IMPROVE physical performance, I have adhd by myself and I know it pretty well. Or Norwegian "all asthma" skiing team.

@@bluecuracao6478 there’s not a medically viable alternative to Adderall and Ritalin to treat ADHD in someone Simone’s age. This situation is completely different.

Valieva doesn't need to be banned from next Olympics: she will have well aged out by then since she's from Sambo 70 and *all* their female skaters age out by 18 max, rifled with injuries and other mental health problems.
Не волнуйся дорогая, даже если она постареет, появится кто-то помоложе, которая также надерет всем зад. А вам хорошего настроения. Продолжайте завидовать и хейтить. И чуть поактивнее пожалуйста, благодаря вам, они становятся сильнее 💪
Sadly, this time what happened to her was because she is an American, not because she is a black lady. Arguably weed should not be one of the banned drugs except at the moment of competition, (like alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine). But in a way she is a victim of chronic doping too, because the rules are so strict because the 'real' drugs became so prevalent. But if the IOC banned acetaminophen, rest assured the US would ban you if they found it in your system. The Russians wouldn't ban cyanide if they thought it would help them win. That's the difference.
@@jjh2456 this girl is a CHILD who's been forced to train to the point of abuse. This girl will almost certainly have crippling back injuries by the time she's 18 and we won't remember her. I'm not defending the doping. But this isn't a "spoiled brat". It's a girl being used and abused by her coach for gold and glory. The other athlete was an adult who intentionally imbibed. While both athletes should have been subject to the same restrictions, it's asinine to act like this 15yo chose to take a heart medication she certainly didn't know the truth about. Shame on you.
The Olympics haven't been a "fair" playing field for decades. Those who have access to the best facilities, coaches, nutritionists, etc.. have a decided advantage. Ethics and morals have gone out the window along time ago so lets just embrace the mantra of today and win at all costs!
Seems like these people are all in favor of being treated like Children. This Russian figure skater is so far ahead of the field on Talent. I’m not a fan of trying to rip her down because our skaters can not compete with her. It’s not like she is running a Marathon. She is brilliant because of her Talent.
She isn't being tearing her down because other countries are jealous. She had performance-enhancing drug(s) which is supposed to be illegal. Running marathons has nothing to do with her situation.
The Russian figure skater proved to everyone that she is the best on the planet! Her awards are honestly deserved for her excellent performance! The USA simply took away her awards because their athletes cannot even deserve bronze medals and they understand that they cannot compete with such a strong athlete! And now the United States will sit with other people’s medals and understand that it will never deserve such medals in honest competitions. The only thing the United States can do is take other people’s medals through the courts. What a shame and disgrace!
Другие команды не настолько глупы , как некоторые здесь сидящие люди. Люди дуиающие головой, сразу поймут где допинг, где политика.

What about the U.S. track and field team? Please do some research, U.S. athletes also have long doping history. But I guess no one will call it “state sponsored” when it comes to U.S.
Duh, because it isn’t and athletes who pop positive are suspended immediately by the USADA. On the other hand, Russian history of state sponsored doping, of their ‘special program’ Sochi athletes is more than well documented. In fact there are still 100s of outstanding doping cases among Russian athletes that have yet to be resolved. It’s all in the reports from the wada and IOC special committee investigations following Sochi. Facts matter.
US uses doping drugs in an official way. Have a medical paper like ADHD and asthma and you can take banned drugs rightfully while they can point to others calling them dopers. Hypocritical and shameful attitude.
Tunde-Ilona Krasznai Comparing athletes who legally apply for and are granted permission to use meds needed for existing medial conditions to athletes who illegally use substances on the banned list with no connection to a medical need (or they would have applied for a TUE right?) is obviously a huge false equivalence.
This is terribly unfair to all of the other athletes, and it is really sad for Kamila herself as she is a minor. Is she responsible? Yes, even as a minor. Do we know if she knew, or if adults around her snuck her meds? We don't but rules are rules. She shouldn't be allowed to compete, period. Then others would be able to get their medals. Sad and ridiculous all around.
I hate cheaters. I hate stealing. Someone doping is both a cheater and a thief. I don't feels sorry for a 15 year old who grew up in a sport knowing the rules and chose to disobey. She absolutely should have been banned. She is 15! If a 15 yr old cheats at school on a final, we don't say, oh they're still children they don't know better. No. They get in trouble. They suffer consequences that they were completely aware of and chose to cheat anyway. And this is just due a game. A student may absolutely need high grades to get in to a good college. A good college education is way more important than a game. But I still think the cheater trying to better themselves is way more understandable than a cheater trying to win a damn game. But I can't stand cheating in any scenario. But I definitely can't stand the thought of letting a teenager, who is fully capable of understanding the rules of their sport, get a pass at breaking those rules just bc they're 15. My daughters friend has been having to sign contracts since she was 10 for soccer (she's really good). She is also 14. Do you think if she broke those rules in her contract at age 10 or 11, they would have let it slide? No. Bc she knew what she could and couldn't do. How is this any different? Its a bigger stage than my daughters friend, but cheating is cheating and those caught absolutely should gave the consequences. Ok. My rant is over. This whole thing makes my blood boil. We all know Russia cheats. They always have. I am appalled at seeing people say it's ok for this 15 yr old bc she's a child. I would argue if you're big enough to go to the Olympics, you're big enough to knew right from wrong
First, I would never, accept or in any way condone the use of banned substances by any Olympic competitor. The Court of Arbitration for Sport declined to impose a provisional suspension on Kamila Valieva. The court cited three factors: (1) Kamila Valieva’s status as a minor. She is 15. (2) Limited facts, (3) Timing of test result notification, hindering her ability to mount a defense. I see numerous comments about “being fair to all athletes” and “providing a level playing field” for all athletes. How about also being fair to this young athlete who worked so hard to also be able to compete? I find it sad, had this been an American, Canadian, Brit, Japanese or athlete from any number of other countries, who was accused of having traces of a banned substance returned in an anti-doping drug test, comments on social media would be much different. I can assure you they would be pleading for patience and more time to investigate more thoroughly, checking for the possibility of false positives; checking the specificity and reliability of the tests and testing lab; checking the chain of custody and possibility of tampering with test samples. Do you think they would not fight for their athletes to compete until all the facts have been evaluated? Instead, I see in social media comments, a willingness to judge before all the facts of this matter have been thoroughly developed and thoroughly weighed. It appears it is easier for many to release their frustration with American-Russian-European politics on a 15-year-old girl who has worked to become the finest figure skater I have ever seen in my lifetime. Test the second sample (sample B) from December 2021. She tested negative in January and February 2022 and during these Olympics. Give investigators the time to complete a thorough investigation. Until then she should be allowed to complete. The Court of Arbitration for Sport was correct in their decision to let her compete. If further investigation determines that she definitely used banned substances while training or during competitions, then and only then should appropriate actions be taken. Heaven help those who have been quick to judge this talented young athlete on social media based upon limited facts. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have a questionable result returned on any kind of breath, blood, urine, or saliva test, and have officials immediately suspend your driver’s license for a year or ban you from activities you enjoy, without first providing you with an opportunity to mount a defense, you might be singing a different song. Would you want authorities to investigate more thoroughly before passing final judgement and assessing penalties? Before ruining a young athlete’s life? Give this talented young athlete the same consideration as you would hope to receive under similar circumstances. I stand with being fair to and providing the same level playing field to all competitors, including this young skating phenom, Kamila Valieva! May all the Olympic competitors achieve their seasons best during these games. I am an American who served 30 years as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer.
Innocent until proven guilty….i still think they should have banned her. I mean if she is eventually found guilty they made the right choice. If she’s found innocent i think taking a lawsuit from her for messing up her career is better than ruining everyone else’s olympic experience. Also it’s Russia’s fault they probably wouldn’t be so crazy if Russia wasn’t known to cheat
FYI...Trimetazidine stays in your system up to 7 hrs in young adults, 12 hours in older adults. TMZ increases blood flow and improves endurance for extended training Also given the fact Russia cant even participate under their name and flag due to recent doping violations makes this even worse. A failed drug test does not care about your age.
Exactly,that’s what they need to do,the “disciplinary actions “ they take against them is just a “slap on the wrists “ that’s why they keep doing it,over and over and over again! 🙄
This is the downfall of the Olympics. Russia will be forever blamed for their cheating, lieing, and falsification just for their benefit. I, as well as many others will be the last Olympic games I ever watch.
The only real issue her is she got caught. Anyone who believes there is one single athlete out there in ANY sport that is not doping is a fool. This is so prevalent that no athlete can compete without using drugs. This has now reached down to high school and I suspect even grade school sports. These drugs are passed out like candy and all anyone cares about is the increased performance. If you don't like it, keep your kids out of sports, that's the only way to stop it.
So you're saying that all athletes dope? Lol that's even more STUPID and DELUSIONAL. There are many athletes out there who are very honest and clean they're even so meticulous in what est or drink for the fear of testing positive. But continue to believe this delusion. It must be really fun for you

Yeah, russia know the rules. They walk on a very thin line, and the break the rules all the times. WHY THE WADA do not let the US runner compete, but the Russian can? It is nuts...
The US ranner's probe came in time before the Olympics and she did not appeal for temporal ban lifting. The Russian skater was caught by the old probe revealed in a halfway of Olympics due to WADA's fault and succesfully appealed for temporal ban lifting. That's it. If the Russian probe came in time, the Russian skater was not allowed to compete as well.
The fact is until we found out that she was doping many international figure skating fans were rooting for Kamila. Now, she needs to be banned from competition in the 2022 Olympics and World’s to make it fair for clean athletes.
what is there? afraid that this little girl will kick your ass? right, be afraid! she will do so. Everyone knows that this is politics. so no matter what you say, no matter how everyone tries to take everything from Russia: the anthem, the flag, the medals, no one can take away the spirit of the Russians. and people like you just have to pour mud. to your health, let's be a little more active, write all possible nasty things, ahah.
@@tomagasanova798 is she talented and graceful? H3ll yes she is. Can I do what she can do? Not in a million years. But she was caught with a banned drug in her system, and as a 15 year old, there is no way that she got that substance on her own. Her coaching team failed her in my opinion, and in the end I feel that they will throw her to the wolves to protect themselves. What makes me sad is that she didn't need that drug and could've won without it. Her current presence on Olympic ice is not fair to the other girls who didn't test bad and that includes the other two Russian skaters. I don't care about what ever politics you spoke of in your comment. All I care about is that the best CLEAN skater wins. That is the best thing that should happen for the sport of women's figureskating. In the end a child will suffer the consequences of an adult's desire to cheat. The parent in me just hopes that Kamila will have a long skating career, a healthy mind/body when the dust settles and eventually be in top shape to win a medal in the next Olympics.
Yes, this lady is disgusting. She doesn’t mention that the result was given almost 2 months later which breaks the rules. All her tests before that weird one are clean and also after all her tests are clean. Without any doping she’s way stronger than all others because others even can’t make a quad jump! So what are we talking about? The only concurrents for her are the other 2 Russian girls that’s it. Jesus Christ
It is outrageous that Kamila Valieva is allowed to keep any medals and/or continue to compete. She was found to have a banned performance enhancing drug in her system. End of story.
Russian Coaches lack a morale discipline and sports ethics. The rumor of drug use was there since last December when they Russian National competition was held. For many sports players, Olympic game is the place to show their "products" of all the efforts they have made, and every one should be treated equally under the universal sportsmanship and equally respected for their spirits of fairness and sportsmanship. There was the doping scandal of Russians, and this, and if IOC allows this scandal unaddressed, there will be another again in the future.
Kamila Valieva could be a victim. Did you think about it? No? The positive doping result has absolutely nothing to do with Kamilas coach or team. Or with Ruasia. It comes from something else. As all 3 Russian figur skaters share the same coach and team - and one of them is even the reigning World Champion - Kamila could even be the next Nancy Kerrigan.
Why don’t the dopers and cheaters have their own competition amongst themselves? We don’t need to mix them up. Dopers v dopers. Cheaters vs cheaters. Clean athletes vs clean athletes.
This must be so hard for her. Someone should be held accountable to this. Her career was ruined in an instant. I feel so sad. She’s my fave figure skater. She tops among everyone, a world record holder. This is a sabotage!
@EL CID Her talent is PLAIN to see. It is NOT produced by drugs. Shame on YOU for suggesting this. You can see her at age 5 and 10 already a talent. PLEASE.
@@khubza8999 Talent have nothing to do with doping. Otherwise you would have testing exemption for people who have had displayed "raw talent" Just because someone had talent does not mean they will not dope, Lance Armstrong have immense raw talent, have you see him cycle and swim at age 12? Does that mean he didn't dope?
I live in the United United States and it's my opinion that either both of them should be allowed to compete or both of them should be disqualified! Which situation is worse! A 15 year old Russian skater gets contaminated by her grandfather's heart medicine. Hey US figure skater get flicked balls to COVID-19 when she knew she was going to the Olympics she should have been isolating herself for the last three months!
This girl could be blindfolded and on heroin, and still out skate the world. Just like barry bonds...steriods cant help you hit a fast ball. Brady...could have been throwing medicine balls and still won games. Its amazing how instead of just being in awe of someone's talent, we instantly look for ways to discredit it. Just an opinion.
Yeah my mind moves in this direction. Can't help but suspect that this coverage is being framed and boosted in conjunction with the coverage of the overblown Ukranian crisis.
It’s not about being the best in the world and “not needing it” to win. It’s about the fact that the entire integrity of the competition is destroyed because of this decision. It doesn’t matter if she needed the drug to be better or not, it doesn’t matter if she intentionally knew about it being in her system. Olympic rules state that if you fail the test, you cannot compete. Yet she was. So how do you expect people not to be outraged at the complete injustice of this? Not to mention she’ll destroy the dreams of the many skaters who won’t get to have their moment of recognition if she places on the podium.
Duh! Why are they called roc? They cheat, they always have they need to be Banned forever from the Olympics! This whole scenario sickens me for the other Athletes who had their moments ruined by these cheaters!
Imo, the woman in this interview needs to be banned from commenting on sports, to say sports competitors not doping should be banned, a completely invalid formation of opinion. Secondly if anyone is going to compete in the Olympics and they eventually decide to change location to not host in China, that might be alright, but to say the Olympics should not be going on at all, for anyone, if no one is going to watch but what is this type of thinking to suggest this. Every contestant out, even the sober people. 🥴
Full support for kicking out countries that feel they can play by different rules, or no rules. Just bad influences to the world. Outside of this incident, same thing as China to how they deal with the Corona virus in the very beginning. which got us all in this mess. Their actions affect us.
If Valieva ends up first place, she should not get a medal until the investigation is done but the medal ceremony should proceed for the other athletes…kick the Russians out!!! Why should this one athlete be treated more special than the others and let the other athletes suffer for one person’s mistake???? How about the other athletes well-being? Doesn’t that count?
What I don't understand is why no one is criticizing the athlete's coach (who is most definitely at fault here). She is a minor and should not be getting her face and name dragged everywhere whilst her coach is not even metioned.
If that’s the reason to support the athlete then this leaves the door to loopholes in the Olympics. Don’t blame the athlete so give her the medal but the couches will take the fall.
DONT BE SO IGNORANT. She knows.
I believe that people forget that before being an athlete, she is a 15 year old girl taking a heart medication that is not made for children. That is incredibly dangerous and I sincerely don't think she would have taken it on her own. Her team medic has a history of doping scandals and her coach is brutal, you can research them. I'm not saying she should not be held accountable, I'm just saying that the adults in charge of her should be investigated and punished accordingly.
@@saras98011 that 15 year old girl has most likely been competing since she was 6. She knows exactly what is going on. Her youth is in NO WAY an excuse.
actually i think its her parents fault, she should be banned from this year, but lets be honest, a 15 year old isnt gonna know every drug on the banned list she trusts her parents to make sure her coaches treat her and others fairly
Yuna Kim had to refuse to take a pill of pain killer to comply with doping rules even when she was suffering from painful injury. But then later in 2014 she was robbed of gold medal by lower ranking Russian skater whose urine sample found damaged and whose performance was poor. Now Russia knowingly sent doped skater to Olympics. I am a fan of figure skating and I was memerised by Kamilla’s performance but I dont want to see her in the competition today. They knew that they could slip away. What is Russia doing to this sport?
COMPETING does NOT mean "WINNING" ... Why deny her the chance to compete? If she can skate under all this pressure, she is a champion in my book. Her trainers failed her and they are NOT being held to account.
@@khubza8999 Because that is the rule that all other athletes respect and comply with. Not complying with these rules, whether it was done by the adults or the athlete, means disqualification to compete. Cometition itself should be fair and equal to everyone. People that say it is ok should feel shameful. It is a matter of integrity and some people clearly are lacking it. In addition, this is clearly child abuse. Who on earth give doping medicine to 15 year old skater? You think allowing the skater, who has been doped by adults, to compete will help her? No way.

Ban all Russian athletes from all competition for 10 years. Maybe that might convince them to compete honestly.
It seems kinda no one American was caught on doping. But usually they have medical paper allowing them to use doping. The competition is kinda more "fair" to Europeans, and especially Americans. Because they chose better country to born.

The U.S. let Lance Armstrong cheat 7X to win the Tour De France. They let Barry Bonds, Jose Conseco, Mark McGuire hit a million home runs while on supersteroids. How about all the football players? Anybody who thinks sports is clean is delusional.
Apparently the latest news is that her defense was there was some kind of mix up with her granddads medicine. That’s as about as good as an excuse as “dog Ate my homework”
But, there is a logic- Her grandpa takes her to his home after trainings ( he lives near the ''Christal ice rink''- it's about 40 km, but they say that it's almost near- on a Moscow scale) and he spends a lot of time with her when her parents are out of home. Her mom said that Kamilla's grandpa is a heart patient who uses TMZ and Kami accidentally took his glass didn't knowing that it has been previously used by her grandpa with that medicine. Do you really think that Rus skating Fed would risk with its top skater ( and the main favorite for Olympics gold) by giving her a drug that can be easily detected in her sample while they know very well that Russia is under strict global supervision due to previous doping scandal ????? Don't worry, The Court will certainly consider all factors including ''Sambo 70'', Kamilla's coaching team , doctors and of course her grandad medicine documents, i believe. This is process .
not likely considering that drug will let a young person train those 10,000 spins hundreds of times in a practice session thats how they get so good they dont have to stop because theyre doping during training.
@@nenavujicin7882 you really think taking a sip out of someone’s glass of water is enough to leave traces in your system? That’s not how it works. Unless her grandpa decided to give her water by spitting down her throat with his medication still in his mouth constantly, then this is just a very silly excuse.
Who caress? You do not get a pass regardless. It is your job as an athlete to not have a mix up. Sick of Russian lies.
@@nenavujicin7882 it’s all lies and the truth will come out and they’ll be banned for many years.
What do the Russians have over the ruling body at the Olympics to allow this cheating take place? The rest of the skaters should pull out, leaving the cheater and suspected cheaters all alone. This would serve them right. Cheating is cheating and should not be tolerated - especially at this level!
lawsuits related to trimetazidine have already been won
What do Russians have over Trumo and Fox News? Answer that first.
Doping in a Human Rights violating country, meh, why not? The 2022 Olympics is bad soap opera, or a farce.
It’s called money!
This is the 6th consecutive Olympics where Russia has been caught using or doing something that is banned. This is government sponsored cheating. The world will always question any Olympic medal that was “won” by a member of a Russian team.
2014 Sochi Olympics: Yuna Kim should be the gold medalist! But they gave it to Sotnikova, a Russian, whose scores were undeniably inflated both in the Short Program and Free Skate even if her performancs recorded underrotation, two-footed landing, wrong-edge and substandard execution compared to Yuna Kim whose performances were almost perfect and done artistically according to her planned programs! A lot of people around the world including commentators and great figure skaters expressed injustice but what did IOC do?
2022 Beijing Olympics: Valieva, again a Russian figure skating athlete, is found to be positive with a banned drug and she is still being allowed to compete! What? Even if the drug test was in December 2021, the drug already made it's positive effect on her. Valieva may not have the full knowledge about this because she's just 15 y/o, but I believe that somehow, Valieva and her parents know something. Valieva, her coaches and her doctors should be held liable and should not allow to compete. The act of letting her take a banned drug was a premeditated disregard of the rules and law of the sports. I admire Valieva upon seeing her performances but justice for all should prevail. She's just 15 y/o hence, she still has many opportunities in the future. Representatives from other countries who tried their best to abide with the rules and regulations and have the potential to win medals should not be punished just because Valieva is allowed to compete.
This is another shameful and biased decision from the IOC.
Let’s not forget another scrawny 15 yo in 2018 with the stamina to execute all her triples after the 2 minute mark. Even Nathan Chen showed signs of fatigue in his long program. Tiny girls with no physical strength who somehow can do an entire program of jumps in 2 minutes. That’s not suspicious? It’s ridiculous.
@@Tenebarum your ass is on fire? envy silently, no one is interested in your opinion, you probably can’t lift your ass from your seat, so you’re furious here. they all received well-deserved medals. even with all the aggression from all sides, these "skinny" little girls are kicking your ass! live with it! your athletes will never surpass these little girls! if we talk about doping, then we all know that this is politics and no one has used any doping. They are not Simone Biles, who was doping by the kilo, ahah!
This wasn’t decided by the IOC.
She also had a questionable ban drug result
We all know the problem here is the coach Eteri Tutberidze. That bitch ruined so many girls, pushing them for early retirement with injuries and now she added kamila to the list. Poor girl 😔

And please do tell, why only Russian athletes are getting found and banned after they invaded Ukraine in 2014 ? I thought sports got nothing to do with politics, same with "genders", why allow people based on imaginary genders, leftist politics, oh well.
@@doomsday5286 Well clearly Russia didn't get the info
@Rossii Bali when you can prove it... then have a say till then shut up.
If she didn’t retest to make sure it’s not a false positive, she should have never been allowed on the ice.
Also, since when is marijuana an enhancing drug?? I feel badly for all the athletes who are competing fairly.
debating the validity of drugs on the banned list is not the issue at hand here. Until the banned list is changed - all athletes must be held accountable. Richardson and the US held her accountable - they remain integral to the sport and herself as an Olympian. Not the Russians here.
marijuana can relax muscles, ease anxiety, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation... it has a bunch of benefits that could be considered positive depending on what you wanna use it for
@@RaineriHakkarainen your algorithm is getting out of hand, time to fine tune so at least you sound like a human.
I missed the detail when it was said that she tested positive for marijuana. If that is the substance she tested positive for, then the rules against 'doping' are perverse. There is no athletic advantage to be gained from marijuana use whatsoever.
@@SaraKochanny Sara, the things you are claiming marijuana can do have absolutely no basis in science. In some people it can ease anxiety, but in others it can heighten it. That one is situational. As for the rest ... Lower blook pressure. No, some evidence points instead to it temporarily increasing blood presssure. Relaxing muscles - not as a direct cause; perhaps if the person happens to have anxiety and gets a relief from it (again, circumstantial / situational). I've never seen any reliable scientific data showing that cannabis reduces inflammation - though this sounds very much like the kind of claim that those who promote cannabis on pseudomedical grounds will make.
There are proven medical benefits to cannabis use in some conditions. However, many of the claims made for it by some of its promoters are VERY premature. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Be careful where you get your information.
In the meantime, if you enjoy a spliff and your doctor thinks it is fine in your case, go for it.
Yes I feel bad for Kamila, but worse for all the competitors who worked their entire lives for this moment.
Why feel bad about a drug abuser?
She's starting to participate in the lies and cover-ups oh the sympathy for her is declining because yes she's 15 years old but these athletes are very intelligent and sophisticated when it comes to what goes into their bodies
I agree that at 15 years old, you should be competent enough to know what meds are going into your body. However, she needed adults around her to force her hand into taking it, encouraging it, allowing it, and trying to cover up for it. There are many adults at fault here.
@@sara.cbc92 The athlete most likely is not aware of it. It's Russia. If they don't tell you. You can sit there and honestly say i don't do it. Because you don't know you do.
@@bellajane8742 hiding it in food. telling her shots she is getting are something else. You are trusting in your trainers as an athlete. If they are giving you something you don't know about. You don't know about it. Russia has been at this for a long time.
The country needs to be banned not slapped on the wrist.
Finally someone said it
It's so tragic, it's actually hilarious now. Remember, the Russians have been so bad with drug usage and being caught, each and every Olympic of the last 16 - 20 years, they are now, have been for a couple Olympic cycles now, competing under the ROC symbol, not the "Russia" symbol which would have allowed them to carry their Russian flag and year their national anthem, when they win a medal.
Now, some of them ACTUALLY GET TO COMPETE even with banned drugs in their system, due to an age issue, due to concerns about her being "irreparably" harmed if she's kicked out, due to late drug reporting, etc. All of a sudden the MERIT, as even CAS says, is NO LONGER the issue at heart! Funny and tragic at the same time.
And, get this.... these Russians (coaches, athletes, doctors, sporting officials) & their supporters/Russian bots are blaming the USA, Europeans/the West, the IOC, etc. for these drug problems that consistently show up in their urine samples!
Are Chinese, Americans, Norwegians, Spanish, Italians, South Koreans, Japanese, Germans, Fins, Brits, et al also having persistent drug issues like the Russians? Nope! May be one isolated case here or there, once in two or three Olympics, OR before it and was caught and barred from Olympic trials... not not consistently and persistently like the Russians...
the West is fighting with an innocent Russian child, while most Western athletes use doping and claim that they have the right to do so because they are "asthmatics" and the doctor prescribed this "medicine". Why are most Western athletes "asthmatics"??)))
@@ЭЮЯ-о3к Oh shut up. Your country's governament should be ashamed of itself.
@@ЭЮЯ-о3к Why Valieva won the national title last dec. 25 as she had Trimetazidine on her body at the time of competition. If the Valieva's doping test results revealed before the end of 2021, her national title will be stripped away and make Alexandra Trusova (initially won silver) will be upgraded to GOLD. Shcherbakova for SILVER and Petrosian as BRONZE. For national team selection, Tuktamsheva must be regular line up for 2022 European Championships and 2020 Winter Olympics along with Trusova and Shcherbakova. Petrosian, in other hand cannot compete at 2022 Olympics because she also competing for Juniors division.
So instead of impacting one athlete….impact ALL the athletes that compete in the sport?!? No medal ceremony?!?
Exactly. I can't help but wonder if the the CAS arbitrators were paid off.
Yeah, new rule created only specifically for Russians, because Russians can be bullied by everybody, this what Uncle Sam said. Before though everybody could compete and be awarded and than if somebody was caught cheating, their medals would be taking away. Remember Armstrong - not cheating clean flock of people of US.
Russia has been caught doping all their athletes before, why do they deserve a different set of rules from everyone else? They don’t deserve to be included in the next several Olympics imo
@@jamesbedichek6106 Nope, where from you have this mad information? You are so brainwashed and talk stereotypes. What do you mean all athletes? Stop to generalise all Russian people like Nazis did to Jews. You are Nazi and racist. I can understand now why black people start to protest in US at least. It’s obvious you call all nation to be something different from rest of world. Put your head on - we have RUSADA twerp, so we are checking our athletes, some countries don’t even have it like Ukraine for example. We have much less athletes caught taking doping than US for sure and they allowed to compete despite that they shouldn’t be and it’s OK for US. Seriously You should love us for our unbelievable patience really, you forget that we do have nuclear weapons, maybe we should become evil like you wish. You don’t deserve us to be clean cause you all in doping in any case. Only one Norway, little country leading at Olympic table. But sorry I forget Norwegians in elite club and allowed to take high performance drugs for lungs prescribed to them by their doctor and WADA Ok with it 😂
@@svetlanapomeroy6529 get therapy. You need help.
Even the junior figure skaters are tested for ILLEGAL doping, beginning as young as 12-years-old. They are also educated on the consequences of ILLEGAL doping, and the lifelong harm it can cause to their young bodies. They cannot say that they simply did not know right from wrong regarding this matter.
I struggled with that until I saw the interview with Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski that talked about that very thing. Both said they took their first drug tests when the were around 12 years old and both remembered their moms calling to clear things as simple as OTC cold medications.
She's too young to have found this medicine on her own.

Olympians goal is to WIN a medal 🏅🥇 and to be part of the Metal Ceremony.
My heart breaks for all the Olympians who do everything right.
Absolutely agree.
The irony😂😂😂speaking about drugs with your last name
This is precisely why she should have been sent home.
Agreed and my heart breaks for athletes that made mistakes and then were not allowed to compete and took the L and waited their turn. All this showed was that privilege means the rules don't apply to everyone
All three medal contenders are from the same state sponsored club. The head coach decides what these girls do, eat, drink, take, say. Some former students of the club said these adolescent athletes have to check their weight three times a day. The medical advisor, who has been caught for assisting doping in the past, follows the team for every competition. The skaters are recruited from very young age and typically retire at the age of 16-18 y.o.. Life long injuries and mental illnesses including anorexia have been reported.
The video description has an error, it wasn’t an IOC decision to allow Valieva to compete, it was a ruling by the court for arbitration of sport (CAS). The IOC was one of the 3 parties trying to stop her from competing by challenging Russia’s decision to lift Valieva’s mandatory provisional suspension hours after it was imposed for a positive test of a banned substance (the other 2 parties challenging the lifting of the suspension were the World Anti-doping Agency WADA and the International Skating Union ISU)
Bribery involved ????
Then maybe CAS should be disbanded.
“I’ve never seen anything quite like this…and I covered Tonya and Nancy” 😂
It's all by design.

Lol banned from the next olympics? She most likely won’t even be skating by that point… she should be banned from this olympics.
I think I actually one of the saddest parts is that Kamila Valieva would have probably done great without the Doping. But now she's going to be doubted forever and probably doubt her own abilities.
she's a freaking talented kid.
I don't think so... drug can bring human's ability to beyond level. She still might become a good figure skater even without the drug but I'm not sure if she can get a medal.

The IOC wanted her to be suspended from the games. It was the Court of Arbitration for Sport that let her stay, against the wishes of the IOC.
So bad that those hardworking athletes cannot perform better than Valieva in any scenario... She can outperform them with or without the founded substance.
Compare with Kamila 75% America's "athletes" are not athletes at all
Sha'carri took her lumps, even when her mother died, so Kamila needs to take hers too.

It is difficult to understand from the culture of each country. Here in the United States, it is common for girls to have sex at 13. They know how to handle contraceptives or the morning after pill. There are those who consume drugs such as cannabis, crack, among other chemicals. And that makes us harder to judge a 15-year-old and not see it as a child. There are exceptions children with moral values and they are known because they are dedicated to their studies, home, sports, and respect their parents. I've met American kids like that, and they're the ones who make it. Let's dare to see the Russian culture, putting aside its government, Putin and the cold war stuff. Russia is a country that does not have the freedom to choose its rulers. They teach their children to respect their parents, to respect elders, that they have to get married and start a family. There are not so many drug problems. Sports are encouraged. When they turn 18 they know they have to get married, and they usually do so young. Young women get pregnant between the age of 21. And they are prepared to be mothers and wives. While a woman of that age here in the USA does not even consider getting married and does not feel prepared to be a mother and have an abortion. Kamila is 15 and she is a girl. She doesn't know about drugs. She does not have the malice of ambition. She admires her classmates and she knows how to lose and she showed it when she participated in Senior and Anna beat her. She gets up every day and goes to train, and studies and does her homework. She left many things from people her age. Let's learn to see according to the culture of each country. As for the government, it is a disaster. But let us remember that they do not have the right to choose.

Test gets sent to Sweden and somehow gets delayed for two months and somehow perfectly gets delivered right now? Someone is playing a game here. The bigger issue is the actual abuse of very young teenagers, destroying their own bodies, to skate. This should be the WOMEN'S skating, i.e. only over 18s allowed. No underweight children destroying their backs and general bone structure. They also tend to have amenorrhea as they are kept underweight, at a critical time for skeletal bone growth which is adversely affected by oestrogen deficiency.
Tara Lipinski was 15 years old when she won her gold medal in 1998 Nagano.
Why valieva surpassed the loopholes of doping testing? Her national title must be stripped away and then recognize Alexandra Trusova as the Russian National Figure Skating Champion for 2021.

This girl absolutely deserves to be banned from the competition. No medal ceremony? What about the young women who earned the right to stand up there, cleanly and fairly? They just don't get their moment in the spotlight because she was allowed to compete. That's harmful. The good of the many, the good of fair sport far outweighs the good for one athlete. Russia deserves to actually be banned from the Olympics. A much better comparison than Sha'Carri Richardson is Andreea Raducan from Romania. At the summer Olympics in 2000, her all-around gold medal was stripped because she tested positive for pseudoephedrine - Sudafed. She was only 16 years old. That substance is no longer banned. If Kamila gets to keep her medals, somebody better call Andreea and tell her there was a huge mistake. I say raise the age 10 18. Across the board. You have to be 18 to compete in the Olympics. This is a disgrace.
I whole heartedly agree. Change the overall age to 18 to compete in the Olympics - two issues solved. 1) All would be adults and held accountable to banned substances period. 2) All would be more fully developed, so children wouldn't have the advantage over older athletes after bodily changes during puberty makes it unfair for older athletes to compete especially in sports like figure skating & gymnastics.
No she does not what should be banned is governments playing politics with their athletes. Stop spreading lies about this girl.
The ROC needs to be banned . This is exactly why the actually Russian Team got banned. Because all they do is cheat .
She maybe 15 but she isn't naive, she should morally state she will pull out of competition. Hope justice will prevail and revoke Russia with the gold medal 🏅.
Would she be this good if she wasn't taking enhancing drugs?
She should be taken out immediately and banned forever. Rule are rules. If you can't follow the rules, don't play. Allowing her to skate on the premise of she's 15, young, innocent, you shouldn't punish her - that's a slap to all the other skaters' faces and telling them their efforts and playing fair doesn't matter.
And if she lands in the top 3, no medal ceremony but she still gets the medal anyways - why are we punishing the other skaters and awarding her for her and Russia's behavior?
Corruption at its finest. She shouldn't be allowed to compete in figure skating ever again. And all her medals should be stripped.
artistically yes. she probably would not be able to do the quads. i'm guessing it's steroids. it usually is with Russia. And there is a decent chance the athlete is unaware of it. or at least has not choice in the matter.
I totally agree She has a brain she knows right from wrong she shouldn't get a slap on the Wrist when I was 15 someone offered me pot n I told them I do not put no drugs in my body ppl need to stop saying shes a child she a teenager n knows what not to put in there body

The American, Canadian, Japanese, South Korean, French etc women skaters left in the competition should all call Russia’s bluff and refuse to take part in the women’s competition.

Listen, she performed at the Grand Prix, then at the Russian Championship, then at the European Championship, at the Olympic Games itself, and all the tests for all the time are clean, isn't anyone surprised by the fact that there is one test with a microdose? Or do you want to make her guilty so much that no one notices the obvious fact of her deliberate withdrawal from the competition?
Ignoble Russian.
It doesn't matter what her past tests were. What matters is the testing in the Olympic games, and she was caught.

You are pathetic for putting this on the audience. Rules are rules, everyone else is following it, so you should too, its only fair that way. It's disgusting to even defend her for what has happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it was the adults around her who made her cheat, and not her decision alone, but cheating is cheating; and its sick for the Olympic committee to even allow her to skate.
And it seems like she building her stamina during training....cheating
I am tired of seeing people say that we are picking on a 15 year old. It is not about that. Yes she is a minor but since a young age we are taught that doping has consequences. This is a slap in the face for others. They should banned them
If an athlete competes, the rules apply no matter the age or whether or not the athlete had knowledge.
The Russian athlete has never taken doping, not a single commission has proven this. The decision was not based on facts, but on theory... these are fantasies... on the basis of which honestly earned awards were specially selected. Political games.

Is this a sport in the USA where you get awards by taking them away from other athletes? Ugh, how shameful this is!
Yes , agree completely. Needs to be banned from Olympics and World figure skating championships! Cheating is cheating
Конечно нужно... всех , кто принимает допинг или наркотики нужно отстранить от всех возможных соревнований, только вот не понимаю, почему Симона участвовала на олимпиаде и почему Ричардсон была отстранена всего лишь на один месяц, все же марихуана травка запрещённая( такие вот несправедливости, а тут все Валиеву грязью поливают, и непонятно за что, ахах
@@tomagasanova798 Sorry I don't speak cheater language. You might want to try English if you are going to comment here. Unfortunately cheating supporters will always deny that drug doping every happened. That goes for any country that wants to play. Take a look around the world and retired skaters that have spoken up about this. Now you have Kamila saying she got the medicine by accidentally taking what her grandfather had as an excuse. What teenager needs to take pills at 15 years old and is healthy. So sorry nobody is taking any word that cheater supporters are saying and what's coming out of Kamila's coaching staff. Take that piece of humble pie and learn something about honestly/integrity because it is not being shown from Russia. A Olympic/World championship ban sound pretty good night now.

Lol...Her European and Pre-Bejing olymoics Urine test done in January came out first and clean while her December 25 2021 urine test came out only on the very moment she is already competing in her event? ..😁😁..she was pronnounced positive even without testing the B sample?..kinda suspicious right?Now IOC in return will not allow Kamilia's team to have Medal ceremony including if she wins her singles event .
She said it got in her system from her grandfather. Therefore she acknowledged it was in her system. They know this house of cards is folding.
My sister is a pharmacist pharmacist, works as a medical examiner, she could not calm down with laughter for a long time when she heard these accusations. She said that these tests are so sensitive that they can even reveal a drug that was drunk a few months ago. If she is training (as many people say here) or regularly used this medication, then tests will definitely reveal it even after a long time. If only one of the three samples turned out to be positive, then it becomes a matter of deliberate sabotage or accidental ingestion of a small amount of drugs into the body. This is a Lynch trial of a child who was sacrificed by adult uncles and aunts so that people around the world would be distracted from the dirty deeds they are currently doing in Ukraine🥶
Tell that to the scientists at WADA. I guess they don’t know about the esoteric field of doping. Given the track record of state sponsored doping in Russia she should have been suspended and expelled from the Games.
@@mrparts Oh, they know everything well, they weren't going to punish her, but the case somehow got publicized in a strange way, they are now doing everything under pressure from those who pay them big taxes. Have you noticed that now they are doing everything to inflate the scandal, to blame the bad guys from Russia, who magically, only since Sochi, started using drugs all the time, and where were they before?No, really, they are caught on this so often after Sochi, and before they were always chesmny, it's funny to me))) but at the same time, there are so many athletes from other countries who also use drugs, but say that it is for health. And does it not contribute to their effectiveness? Of course, it helps them, they behave dishonestly with clean athletes, but the BRAIN says that they are sick and therefore drink this medicine)))), I want to add that you don't think that I'm for an unfair game or propagandizing for Russians, no, I was deeply saddened by how the Sochi Olympics were not fair, I said then that it was not fair to buy athletes from other countries, buy judges (I didn't know about drugs), I knew that even more Russian athletes would be punished for this, and this is now confirmed. If Kamla Valieva were from another country, her positive test, which was taken in December, which does not affect her results in any way, would not have affected her participation in the OI in any way. Russian Russians, I'm for honesty, not for Russians (Camila is not Russian).
Please ask your ‘sister’ what is the half life of TMZ in the human body. Hint: it’s several hours, not months. So there goes that little narrative.
@@sofiyaempires5127 The Soviets were constantly doping. Are you fucking high?
In the interest of fairness and justice, I do believe that Kamila should not be allowed to compete and that Russia should receive a legitimate punishment, but the other part of me is like, *"Man this girl is so talented and she has clearly worked her butt off to get to where she is, what a shame for her not to compete!"* I just wish her coaches hadn't pressured her into taking the stupid drug, because she probably would have won anyway with all that talent. 🤷♂️
They start doping in novice and juniors. Literally all her talent and achievements means nothing
@@rajs7876 I don't know about nothing, but her achievements have definitely been tainted. It would have been interesting to see what she could have done without the drugs. It's an unfortunate situation all the way around, but for the sake of Olympics integrity she should definitely *not* be allowed to compete
All the other Athletes have worked their "butt[s] off" too, and none of them have failed a drug test. The rules are clear - she should not be competing. The board that have allowed this are making a mockery of the sport and the Winter Olympics.
@@thomasdequincey5811 Well said. By making this 'one' exception, the IOC may have created a slippery slope that will tarnish the Games for years
Ice dance is an enormous waste of everybody's time. Including hers.
What they said is she is allowed to participate because she has tested negative over and over prior to the Olympics and during the Olympics daily. The investigation is related to a positive test back on Dec. 25th, that was not handled properly , in short order, normally in a 10 to 15 day span. These results were not revealed until Feb. 7th the day after the Olympic Team event. Are there any adults in question ? As to the testing agency, maybe they should do some other line of work that is less time sensitive.
And Russia did not properly flag the test to be tested quickly. Oops you forgot that fact conveniently there. Big fact to forget!

Hackers released records on four female American Olympic athletes: tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, gymnastics multi-gold medallist Simone Biles and basketball player Elena Delle Donne. These files show approvals by doctors for the athletes to use otherwise banned medications like Adderall or hydrocortisone for medical reasons. The files published online also relate to American swimmers Jack Conger and Kathleen Baker, tennis player Bethanie Mattek-Sands, basketball player Brittney Griner, fencer Dagmara Wozniak, track and field athletes Deanna Price and Michelle Carter, water polo player Mcquin Baron, diver Sam Dorman and wrestler Tervel Ivaylov Dlagnev. Conger was awarded a gold medal in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay alongside teammates Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, but didn't swim in the final. Conger was also present during the infamous gas station incident involving Lochte. Baker earned a gold and silver in Rio. Griner and shot put competitor Carter both won gold. Wozniak and Dorman brought home silvers. leaked files show approvals by doctors for the athletes to use otherwise banned medications as well.
In fact, in each of the situations, the athlete has done everything right in adhering to the global rules for obtaining permission to use a needed medication...
Лицемерные США вызывают отвращение...
@@accutronitisthe2nd95 I am sure they did. With physicians like Lawrence Gerard Nassar I am sure any kind of manufactured or coached "symptoms" and subsequent prescription is possible regardless if it is necessary or if it is just an excuse to use banned enhancement drugs.
Valieva is 15! She did everything her coach told her to do. She should take a year off to make sure the drugs are out of her, before she competes again. Her coach deserves a lifetime ban.
Cheater always find excuses all the time. I am not feel sorry for this young lady. She knew exactly what she doing. She 15yr old she was not 1 yr old, that someone have to forced her to take medication.
All the skaters there should stand on the ice rank in solidarity and protest against the IOC and make her go home.
You saw that pause? That's when bullshit is coming weed more offensive than steroids to the Olympics officials
It wasn't steroids. It was a banned substance for heart medication that increases endurance. The difference between Sha'Carri Richardson and Kamila Valieva is that 1) Kamila is a minor and the rules are more complicated for "protected persons". 2) There have been cases previously where athletes tested positive for banned substances but it turned out to be from another source, not because they were doping. American Madisyn Cox tested positive for the same banned substance, but it was proven her multivitamins were contaminated with it at the factory. American Jessica Callalang tested positive for another substance, it turned out because her makeup was made with that substance and contaminated her sample. 3) Because this result JUST came out, Kamila doesn't have enough time to put together a case for herself before her skate competition.
Believe me, both weed and steroids are seen as equally offensive to the Olympics officials
They are both just as bad as each other. Just another person using the old "but this isn't as bad as that" to justify using something illegal.
I hate booing, I'm so against it, but I would boo at her, if I were there.
Profiles in courage for reporters to stand up and just say it like it us. The drug cheating is out of control.
It's not just reporters that are commenting. Commentators and retired skaters are voicing their objections

Shacarri spoke facts. I’m so sad we didn’t get to see her at the Olympics. I was so excited for that young lady.
Sadly, this time what happened to her was because she is an American, not because she is a black lady. Arguably weed should not be one of the banned drugs except at the moment of competition, (like alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine). But in a way she is a victim of chronic doping too, because the rules are so strict because the 'real' drugs became so prevalent. But if the IOC banned acetaminophen, rest assured the US would ban you if they found it in your system. The Russians wouldn't ban cyanide if they thought it would help them win. That's the difference.
Because of Shacarri I can’t have any compassion for this Russian girl. Shacarri took her punishment while this girl is acting like a spoiled brat.

While both athletes should have been subject to the same restrictions, it's asinine to act like this 15yo chose to take a heart medication she certainly didn't know the truth about. Shame on you.

Having access to those things may create and advantage, but they are not cheating.
EXACTLY!!!! NOT am level playing field AT ALL.
We agree 👏🏼 that is not fair with all the other ladies that have trained for this day.
Seems like these people are all in favor of being treated like Children.
This Russian figure skater is so far ahead of the field on Talent. I’m not a fan of trying to rip her down because our skaters can not compete with her. It’s not like she is running a Marathon. She is brilliant because of her Talent.
She isn't being tearing her down because other countries are jealous. She had performance-enhancing drug(s) which is supposed to be illegal. Running marathons has nothing to do with her situation.
The Russian figure skater proved to everyone that she is the best on the planet! Her awards are honestly deserved for her excellent performance!
The USA simply took away her awards because their athletes cannot even deserve bronze medals and they understand that they cannot compete with such a strong athlete!
And now the United States will sit with other people’s medals and understand that it will never deserve such medals in honest competitions.
The only thing the United States can do is take other people’s medals through the courts.
What a shame and disgrace!
To be honest m the other teams should have just walked out in protest !

What about the U.S. track and field team? Please do some research, U.S. athletes also have long doping history. But I guess no one will call it “state sponsored” when it comes to U.S.
Duh, because it isn’t and athletes who pop positive are suspended immediately by the USADA. On the other hand, Russian history of state sponsored doping, of their ‘special program’ Sochi athletes is more than well documented. In fact there are still 100s of outstanding doping cases among Russian athletes that have yet to be resolved. It’s all in the reports from the wada and IOC special committee investigations following Sochi. Facts matter.
US uses doping drugs in an official way. Have a medical paper like ADHD and asthma and you can take banned drugs rightfully while they can point to others calling them dopers. Hypocritical and shameful attitude.
@@tunde-ilonakrasznai7122 that is patently false. The US has a long history of banning athletes who dope.
Tunde-Ilona Krasznai Comparing athletes who legally apply for and are granted permission to use meds needed for existing medial conditions to athletes who illegally use substances on the banned list with no connection to a medical need (or they would have applied for a TUE right?) is obviously a huge false equivalence.
This is terribly unfair to all of the other athletes, and it is really sad for Kamila herself as she is a minor. Is she responsible? Yes, even as a minor. Do we know if she knew, or if adults around her snuck her meds? We don't but rules are rules. She shouldn't be allowed to compete, period. Then others would be able to get their medals. Sad and ridiculous all around.
I hate cheaters. I hate stealing. Someone doping is both a cheater and a thief. I don't feels sorry for a 15 year old who grew up in a sport knowing the rules and chose to disobey. She absolutely should have been banned. She is 15! If a 15 yr old cheats at school on a final, we don't say, oh they're still children they don't know better. No. They get in trouble. They suffer consequences that they were completely aware of and chose to cheat anyway. And this is just due a game. A student may absolutely need high grades to get in to a good college. A good college education is way more important than a game. But I still think the cheater trying to better themselves is way more understandable than a cheater trying to win a damn game. But I can't stand cheating in any scenario. But I definitely can't stand the thought of letting a teenager, who is fully capable of understanding the rules of their sport, get a pass at breaking those rules just bc they're 15. My daughters friend has been having to sign contracts since she was 10 for soccer (she's really good). She is also 14. Do you think if she broke those rules in her contract at age 10 or 11, they would have let it slide? No. Bc she knew what she could and couldn't do. How is this any different? Its a bigger stage than my daughters friend, but cheating is cheating and those caught absolutely should gave the consequences. Ok. My rant is over. This whole thing makes my blood boil. We all know Russia cheats. They always have. I am appalled at seeing people say it's ok for this 15 yr old bc she's a child. I would argue if you're big enough to go to the Olympics, you're big enough to knew right from wrong
Russia never learn!!!! Banned them in any competition
Вот закрой! А то, смотри, тебя учить придем). И научим! Не сомневайся!
First, I would never, accept or in any way condone the use of banned substances by any Olympic competitor. The Court of Arbitration for Sport declined to impose a provisional suspension on Kamila Valieva. The court cited three factors: (1) Kamila Valieva’s status as a minor. She is 15. (2) Limited facts, (3) Timing of test result notification, hindering her ability to mount a defense. I see numerous comments about “being fair to all athletes” and “providing a level playing field” for all athletes. How about also being fair to this young athlete who worked so hard to also be able to compete? I find it sad, had this been an American, Canadian, Brit, Japanese or athlete from any number of other countries, who was accused of having traces of a banned substance returned in an anti-doping drug test, comments on social media would be much different. I can assure you they would be pleading for patience and more time to investigate more thoroughly, checking for the possibility of false positives; checking the specificity and reliability of the tests and testing lab; checking the chain of custody and possibility of tampering with test samples.
Do you think they would not fight for their athletes to compete until all the facts have been evaluated? Instead, I see in social media comments, a willingness to judge before all the facts of this matter have been thoroughly developed and thoroughly weighed. It appears it is easier for many to release their frustration with American-Russian-European politics on a 15-year-old girl who has worked to become the finest figure skater I have ever seen in my lifetime. Test the second sample (sample B) from December 2021. She tested negative in January and February 2022 and during these Olympics. Give investigators the time to complete a thorough investigation. Until then she should be allowed to complete. The Court of Arbitration for Sport was correct in their decision to let her compete. If further investigation determines that she definitely used banned substances while training or during competitions, then and only then should appropriate actions be taken.
Heaven help those who have been quick to judge this talented young athlete on social media based upon limited facts. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have a questionable result returned on any kind of breath, blood, urine, or saliva test, and have officials immediately suspend your driver’s license for a year or ban you from activities you enjoy, without first providing you with an opportunity to mount a defense, you might be singing a different song. Would you want authorities to investigate more thoroughly before passing final judgement and assessing penalties? Before ruining a young athlete’s life? Give this talented young athlete the same consideration as you would hope to receive under similar circumstances. I stand with being fair to and providing the same level playing field to all competitors, including this young skating phenom, Kamila Valieva!

This is the downfall of the Olympics. Russia will be forever blamed for their cheating, lieing, and falsification just for their benefit. I, as well as many others will be the last Olympic games I ever watch.
They are allowing someone who failed a drug test, cheating in other words, to compete. The mind boggles at the stupidity.
They were supposed to be banned this year.
Oh, they were. They couldn’t have the Russian anthem played and competed under a generic name. But they were there. So asinine.
Not this year. After this year.
The only real issue her is she got caught. Anyone who believes there is one single athlete out there in ANY sport that is not doping is a fool. This is so prevalent that no athlete can compete without using drugs. This has now reached down to high school and I suspect even grade school sports. These drugs are passed out like candy and all anyone cares about is the increased performance. If you don't like it, keep your kids out of sports, that's the only way to stop it.
So you're saying that all athletes dope? Lol that's even more STUPID and DELUSIONAL. There are many athletes out there who are very honest and clean they're even so meticulous in what est or drink for the fear of testing positive. But continue to believe this delusion. It must be really fun for you

Yeah, russia know the rules. They walk on a very thin line, and the break the rules all the times. WHY THE WADA do not let the US runner compete, but the Russian can? It is nuts...
The US ranner's probe came in time before the Olympics and she did not appeal for temporal ban lifting. The Russian skater was caught by the old probe revealed in a halfway of Olympics due to WADA's fault and succesfully appealed for temporal ban lifting. That's it. If the Russian probe came in time, the Russian skater was not allowed to compete as well.
The fact is until we found out that she was doping many international figure skating fans were rooting for Kamila. Now, she needs to be banned from competition in the 2022 Olympics and World’s to make it fair for clean athletes.
what is there? afraid that this little girl will kick your ass? right, be afraid! she will do so. Everyone knows that this is politics. so no matter what you say, no matter how everyone tries to take everything from Russia: the anthem, the flag, the medals, no one can take away the spirit of the Russians. and people like you just have to pour mud. to your health, let's be a little more active, write all possible nasty things, ahah.
@@tomagasanova798 is she talented and graceful? H3ll yes she is. Can I do what she can do? Not in a million years. But she was caught with a banned drug in her system, and as a 15 year old, there is no way that she got that substance on her own. Her coaching team failed her in my opinion, and in the end I feel that they will throw her to the wolves to protect themselves.
What makes me sad is that she didn't need that drug and could've won without it. Her current presence on Olympic ice is not fair to the other girls who didn't test bad and that includes the other two Russian skaters.
I don't care about what ever politics you spoke of in your comment. All I care about is that the best CLEAN skater wins. That is the best thing that should happen for the sport of women's figureskating.
In the end a child will suffer the consequences of an adult's desire to cheat. The parent in me just hopes that Kamila will have a long skating career, a healthy mind/body when the dust settles and eventually be in top shape to win a medal in the next Olympics.
Also pot is not performance enhancing.
Rules are rules! She should not compete! Period
Суд постановил иначе 🙂 Валиева - чемпион 🥇

Yes, this lady is disgusting. She doesn’t mention that the result was given almost 2 months later which breaks the rules. All her tests before that weird one are clean and also after all her tests are clean. Without any doping she’s way stronger than all others because others even can’t make a quad jump! So what are we talking about? The only concurrents for her are the other 2 Russian girls that’s it. Jesus Christ
It is outrageous that Kamila Valieva is allowed to keep any medals and/or continue to compete. She was found to have a banned performance enhancing drug in her system. End of story.
Russian Coaches lack a morale discipline and sports ethics. The rumor of drug use was there since last December when they Russian National competition was held. For many sports players, Olympic game is the place to show their "products" of all the efforts they have made, and every one should be treated equally under the universal sportsmanship and equally respected for their spirits of fairness and sportsmanship. There was the doping scandal of Russians, and this, and if IOC allows this scandal unaddressed, there will be another again in the future.
Kamila Valieva could be a victim. Did you think about it? No? The positive doping result has absolutely nothing to do with Kamilas coach or team. Or with Ruasia. It comes from something else. As all 3 Russian figur skaters share the same coach and team - and one of them is even the reigning World Champion - Kamila could even be the next Nancy Kerrigan.
Wasn’t Richardson 21 when she was suspended? Everything seems to be hinging on the fact that Kamila is 15.
And it shouldn't. That said, USOC would likely have suspended a 15-year old Sha'Carri too.
Why don’t the dopers and cheaters have their own competition amongst themselves? We don’t need to mix them up. Dopers v dopers. Cheaters vs cheaters. Clean athletes vs clean athletes.
Because no one would watch boring clean athletes.
This must be so hard for her. Someone should be held accountable to this. Her career was ruined in an instant. I feel so sad. She’s my fave figure skater. She tops among everyone, a world record holder.
This is a sabotage!
awww. its so sad boohoo, the cheater was caught, should we all cry for her?
I feel sad for her, too, but I feel much more sad for the rest of the athletes have to watch her compete in Olympics and sacrifice medal ceremony.
She is a cheater, im not sad for her, she should be banned.
@EL CID Her talent is PLAIN to see. It is NOT produced by drugs. Shame on YOU for suggesting this. You can see her at age 5 and 10 already a talent. PLEASE.
@@khubza8999 Talent have nothing to do with doping. Otherwise you would have testing exemption for people who have had displayed "raw talent"
Just because someone had talent does not mean they will not dope, Lance Armstrong have immense raw talent, have you see him cycle and swim at age 12? Does that mean he didn't dope?
Someone ratted her out and they can't found out what performance enhancing drugs she took until after her turn
Weren't they supposed to have been left out of THIS one?
No. Not until this year is done.
I live in the United United States and it's my opinion that either both of them should be allowed to compete or both of them should be disqualified! Which situation is worse! A 15 year old Russian skater gets contaminated by her grandfather's heart medicine. Hey US figure skater get flicked balls to COVID-19 when she knew she was going to the Olympics she should have been isolating herself for the last three months!
This girl could be blindfolded and on heroin, and still out skate the world. Just like barry bonds...steriods cant help you hit a fast ball. Brady...could have been throwing medicine balls and still won games. Its amazing how instead of just being in awe of someone's talent, we instantly look for ways to discredit it. Just an opinion.
Yeah my mind moves in this direction. Can't help but suspect that this coverage is being framed and boosted in conjunction with the coverage of the overblown Ukranian crisis.
It’s not about being the best in the world and “not needing it” to win. It’s about the fact that the entire integrity of the competition is destroyed because of this decision. It doesn’t matter if she needed the drug to be better or not, it doesn’t matter if she intentionally knew about it being in her system. Olympic rules state that if you fail the test, you cannot compete. Yet she was. So how do you expect people not to be outraged at the complete injustice of this? Not to mention she’ll destroy the dreams of the many skaters who won’t get to have their moment of recognition if she places on the podium.
Just a stupid opinion.
Duh! Why are they called roc? They cheat, they always have they need to be Banned forever from the Olympics! This whole scenario sickens me for the other Athletes who had their moments ruined by these cheaters!
Imo, the woman in this interview needs to be banned from commenting on sports, to say sports competitors not doping should be banned, a completely invalid formation of opinion. Secondly if anyone is going to compete in the Olympics and they eventually decide to change location to not host in China, that might be alright, but to say the Olympics should not be going on at all, for anyone, if no one is going to watch but what is this type of thinking to suggest this. Every contestant out, even the sober people. 🥴
That's not what she said. She said Russia should be banned. You should watch the video.
Full support for kicking out countries that feel they can play by different rules, or no rules. Just bad influences to the world. Outside of this incident, same thing as China to how they deal with the Corona virus in the very beginning. which got us all in this mess. Their actions affect us.
If Valieva ends up first place, she should not get a medal until the investigation is done but the medal ceremony should proceed for the other athletes…kick the Russians out!!! Why should this one athlete be treated more special than the others and let the other athletes suffer for one person’s mistake???? How about the other athletes well-being? Doesn’t that count?
