Russia needed to be banned for at least two Olympics (Summer and Winter). 1 Quote

Lasted a total of 16 seconds in 2 races....goodness. Now 9th in the Super-G. Her and Simone might want to open a self help clinic together. 1 Quote

Politics everywhere I'm cautiously optimistic that CAS reinstates the ban. That said, I won't be surprised if this is similar to the East German doping and athletes may not have known, especially minors. Quote

Worked with one of the guys. All pretty ordinary dudes that happened to have curled most of their lives and are now at the top of the sport. Quote

Not looking sharp in this Olympics but they also didn’t in South Korea until they went on a roll and won out. They still control their own destiny so hopefully they play desperate. Quote

cberkas Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 With the doping with the Russian figure skater, sounds like if she finishes in the top 3 no one gets a medal, and you have to be 17 to be in the Olympics. Quote
LuvHockey Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 I just cannot believe the tolerance for Russian doping. The ENTIRE country is banned due to doping. The (healthy young) RUSSIAN skater is found to have a banned cardiac drug- as well as 2 more non banned cardiac substances- and her grandfather just happens to be taking the banned drug (need I say ACCESS?), and instead of being banned, she gets to compete and possibly keep medals.... If she were a USA skater- next bus outta town for sure. I really have no respect for these Olympics..... 1 2 Quote
