  1. Russian athletes should not be allowed to participate in any games outside of Russia.

  2. “Banned”. Not going to miss a single Olympics. What is this retroactive bullshit? Fuck that. Or make it retroactive to 2022 instead of 2021 for some shred of credibility.

  3. I understand how doping would help a wrestler, a runner, a swimmer…but figure skating? How does that help them?

  4. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  5. A Russian athlete caught cheating?!?! This must be fake news lol

  6. Guys remember, she was a **15 year old girl**. Don’t judge her too harshly before full details of the investigation is released, for all you know she could have been told the pills were for other issues.

    Reminder that Russia has been doing state-orchestrated doping for decades. I think it’s unfair to deny a young athlete in her prime to compete in the next Olympics for something that happened when she was 15 when we can’t be sure if she was even responsible.

  7. Country of liar and cheaters lies and cheats? Wow incredible 4 years is nothing, they should give lifetime bans

  8. No way!! So Khloe Kardashian sperm donor was..I’m connecting the dots!

  9. It’s like Russia can’t compete without doping up the Athletes. Always have to win at everything, shows they are just Narcissists.
