double standards! Cox won a gold medal in the women's 4x400 m relay at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics. Where is the gold medal for Russia? CLOWNS!
Did she fail a drug test?
There is no honor in the Olympic Games. If it was known that her tests were going to be scrutinized than she should have been disqualified from the beginning
She would have been if the tests had been delivered on time. If you pay attention to the clip, it clearly says there was a delay likely caused by covid-related staffing issues.
International justice, unfortunately, in the modern world is a fiction. How could a US citizen be among the judges while Team USA is fighting for first place? This makes no sense to me as a lawyer! Why was the American judge not rejected? How was an American judge even allowed to attend the trial?! This is prohibited by all rules of legal proceedings; The decision is obviously biased and illegal! Doping - Valieva’s sample was stored in an unknown place for a long time! And how do the judges think doping should help you gain grace and flexibility? Giving drugs to a skater who doesn't skate well will not help him skate well! Why do you need doping in figure skating? This is not running, not swimming, not cycling. Some European teams take doping on the basis of certificates from their doctors, allegedly the athletes have health problems that are clearly incompatible with sports! In this case, there is more politics and hatred towards a certain country than justice!
Remember the story of American figure skater Jessica Calalang. A VERY large dose of a prohibited substance was found in Jessica's blood, which does not enter the body after repeated use of cosmetics. Cosmetics with such a substance must be used in very large quantities and for years in order for such an amount of the substance to enter the blood! But miraculously, she was completely justified! Today sport is about politics, not about fair competition.
Rock-paper-scissors Olimpics )) Shame theatre
Kamila Valieva is the best figure skater in the world. Valieva is far more talented and is better than Madison Chock. Madison Chock has no talent and is one of the worst skaters.
So is that why Chock is a Olympic and world champion?
For sure, we know that Valieva is better at taking drugs.
Катайтесь так,как Камила Валиева!Тогда золото будет ваше!Чемпионкой в сердцах миллионов любителей ФК есть и будет Камила!Теперь отобранное золото не украшает вас!
Shes hawt underage jail bait for sure
xa xa хамство u наркозависимость рашистов , это их главное достоинство
не позорились б..еще comments пишет. наркоманка она .теперь весь мир об этом знает.. а кататься все умеют.. и ничутb нe хуже! снова рашисты с помощью подкупа и машенничества раскатали губу на медаль! закатите губу обратно!! мир ни вас, ни ваш Tuno``спорт `` уже не воспринимает..
US cannot beat Russians in Ice skating...and I MEAN IT. 😂
Yep, the American team could not win in competition, but can win in the court. It is simple. Valieva is the figure skater from a different planet. International Skating Union does not need a competitor who is 30 points ahead of the second place. How else they can give gold medals to other women who do not have any quads in their programs. It is as old as the world : "Others want to win too even though it is the court decision, but they could not win in competition". I would respect American team if they refused to take gold because they know that Valieva did not have the positive test at the Olympic and competed without any "enhancement". I really regret that envious figure skaters are so happy that Valieva is disqualified and try to picture her as an evil doper. I do not believe that 15 years old can make any decisions what to take. She is a victim. with all my respect to the American Olympic team as skaters I must say that you did not win you are chosen to win. I am sure that there will be an appeal. As to Canadian team with their claim for bronze. You guys were worse than Russians without 2 programs. What a shame to make such claims. I hope that Johnny and Tara will keep silence about Valieva at Four continents' and World's championships. Otherwise, people will stop watching figure skating because of their political comments. Comment what figure skaters do on ice instead.
29 January 2024 - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued its decision in the appeal arbitration procedures _CAS 2023/A/9451 Association Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) v. Kamila Valieva, CAS 2023/A/9455 International Skating Union (ISU) v. Kamila Valieva, Association Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), and CAS 2023/A/9456 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) v. Association Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) & Kamila Valieva)_
• The decision taken by the Disciplinary Anti-Doping Committee of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency No. 9/2023 on 24 January 2023 in relation to Ms Kamila Valieva is set aside.
• Ms Valieva is found to have committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) under Clause 4.1 of the All-Russian Anti-Doping Rules of 24 June 2021 (the Russian ADR).
• A period of four (4) years ineligibility is imposed on Ms Valieva, starting on 25 December 2021.
• All competitive results of Ms Valieva from 25 December 2021 are disqualified, with all the resulting consequences (including forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money).
According to Clause 4.1 of the Russian ADR, athletes are responsible for any Prohibited Substance found to be present in their samples and the presence of any prohibited substance amounts to an ADRV. In this matter, a prohibited substance, Trimetazidine (TMZ), was found to be present in the sample collected from Ms Valieva on 25 December 2021 during the Russian National Championships in St Petersburg, Ms Valieva did not contest liability in that she accepted that, by reason of the presence of a TMZ in her sample, she had committed an ADRV under Clause 4.1 of the Russian ADR
It was therefore a matter for the CAS Panel to consider what sanctions, if any, should be imposed on Ms Valieva pursuant to the Russian ADR, bearing in mind that, in the absence of grounds for elimination, reduction or suspension, the Russian ADR provide for a four-year period of ineligibility. In order to benefit from a reduced period of ineligibility, Ms Valieva needed to prove, by a balance of probabilities that she had not intentionally committed the ADRV by engaging in conduct which she knew constituted an ADRV or in conduct where she knew that there was a significant risk that said conduct might constitute or result in an ADRV and had manifestly disregarded that risk. Having carefully considered all the evidence put before it, the CAS Panel concluded that Ms Valieva was not able to establish, on the balance of probabilities and on the basis of the evidence before the Panel, that she had not committed the
ADRV intentionally (within the meaning of the Russian ADR).
The CAS Panel stressed that the test with respect to intention under Clause 12.2 of the Russian ADR is one and the same whether the athlete is an adult or a Protected Person. It means that if a Protected Person fails to discharge the burden (which under the Russian ADR is borne by the athlete) that he or she did not commit ADRV intentionally, there is no basis under the rules to treat them any differently from an adult athlete. Accordingly, since it was determined that there was no scope for the exercise of discretion to reduce the period of ineligibility, a four-year period of ineligibility was imposed by the Panel.
The period of ineligibility starts on 25 December 2021 and any period of provisional suspension served by Ms Valieva is to be credited against that period of ineligibility. The CAS Panel also ordered the disqualification all competitive results achieved by Ms Valieva from 25 December 2021, with all the resulting consequences (including forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money).
The consequences linked to the retroactive disqualification of Ms Valieva from past events, including from the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, were not within the scope of this arbitration procedure and will have to be examined by the sports organisations concerned.
The Arbitral Award issued by the CAS Panel is currently subject to a confidentiality review meaning that the parties might request that the Arbitral Award, or certain information contained in it, remain confidential. For this reason, the Arbitral Award will not be published immediately on the CAS website. The CAS Panel’s decision is final and binding, with the exception of the parties’ right to file an appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal within 30 days on limited grounds.
@@RaymondHng LOL Nowadays figure skating at OG is a life achievement ceremony. I have been watching figure skating for many decades and unlike you saw the greats live on ice like Peggy Fleming, Katarina Witt, Alain Calmat, Robin Cousins, Tawler/Ford, Pakhomova/Gorshkov, Belousova/ Protopopov. I know who were the greats and who were just their time to win for their contribution in sport. Valieva will stay in history along with Papadakis/Cizeron and other past great champions no matter what the courts decide. ISU did not want more 15 years old champions like it was not ISU fault to allow 15 years old to compete as seniors. Finally ISU changed the age.
@@ellest1485 That's where you're wrong, I have been watching figure skating live since Peggy Fleming. I even know how to manually calculate the scores under the 6.0 judging system. Valieva will stay in history, but a footnote will follow her throughout history as well.
You sound Russian.
To receive gold medals. Not to WIN gold medals. This sport is finished. Sport where Michelle Kwan is not Olympic champion and Karen Chen is.
Well, we're all aware that Karen won a team gold medal, not an individual one. She didn't have to be better than Michelle Kwan to win one of those. Stop crying.
@@divinearia1601 Once again, they didn’t win the medals, they have received them. Stop pretending they are the best team in the World lol.
@@ipcook8973...they are, since the Russians don't count. Cheaters, drug users, and people who break rules don't count, duh.
US team do not deserve the golden medals. But they can have those if dirty medals is their American dream
What about Justin Gatlin
Too hilarious how america uses racism for everything, even sports just so Russia doesn't beat them again, like in everything. 😂😂
💯
What racism? The girl took a banned substance. Case closed
@novakd1530 america? I know right? They even committing genocide with 40k civilians dead in 4 months.
@novakd1530 this coming from a country that thinks 40k civilians in 4 months is okay bcoz of their religion and ethnicity.
@@tylerdurden4006 we are allowed to protest against it
Nothing to do with European and World skating competitions without Russian skaters!!!!!
Thank Putin for that
Everyone knows that Kamila Valieva and the Russian team were by far the very best skaters, nothing can change that
everyone in Russia?
No, the whole world knows.@@user-red47854
Another troll talking on behalf of other trolls. Count me out. She dopped, period.
Everyone anywhere who watched Kamila skate 2 years ago could see for themself that she, and all the Russian skaters were FAR batter than anyone else@@user-red47854
If she was the best then why did she dope lol
Они еще долго медальку не получат. Пусть терпеливо ждут.
Bring back Tonya Harding. She’ll enlighten the media more than this nonsense.
Kamila Valieva did not dope. She is a victim and not a perpetrator. I feel so sorry for Kamila Valieva, she doesn't deserve that. Your fans and I will always support you, you can't let yourself get down.
She had a banned substance in her system and is, therefore, disqualified.
@@dkadkins6545 , You can't blame a child who was 15 years old at the time
@raimundgoebel7964 She was competing in an adult division with adult rules. If she couldn't be held accountable, she shouldn't have been competing. She doesn't get a pass for being 15. I have no idea, only suspicions about how those drugs got in her system, but she is accountable after they found them, and no one, even those tossing around the grandpa story, believes that's how she got them in her system.
@@dkadkins6545 , I feel very sorry for Kamila Valieva, she didn't deserve the ban and for a 15 year old the sentence is inhumane and far too harsh
@@raimundgoebel7964...regardless of your age, in any game you compete in, there is a set of rules you have to follow. Simple as that. And why isn't she deserving of a ban? She broke the rules.
Getting a medal this way lmao no ceremony, no anthem 😂😂😂 two years after the fact . Kamila is the true victor here . ❤
*cheater. How else would a Russian win anything?
@@MajorHenryL don't fall for the political show. Sloppy 2nds for you 🤗
@Redmoon3228 explain how Simone Biles or the Williams brothers win? Double standards, legal doping, right?!
Вы, американцы, получили медальку, но никогда не будете кататься так прекрасно, как это делает Камила.
Cry me a river
As I said in another post, there have been other team competitions where one member of that team were found to have banned substances in their system where the whole team has been disqualified and medals taken away. I think a few summer Olympics ago a team from what country had their medal taken away in 4x100 relay for one of their members taking cold medications with a banned substance. No intentional cheating but still rules had to be followed
News Flash: we don’t care who wins the medal, few people ice skate.
If Americans doped, they skate much better
@novakd1530плачь мне речку.
the US of A is Tonya Harding
Congratulations RUSSIA. The standard of figure skating
Cold War 2.0
Commies never learn
Let's all congratulate the US on the victory over justice !!! 😅😂🤣
Shame on you! Who can believe in such a dishonest victory ?!? If only you have a lack of mind..
@@svetlanakovaleva6187 "a lack of mind ?" hahahaha.
First learn to speak English properly and then try to talk on the other people's intellectual abilities ^^
The america is sick
Political decision which has nothing to do with sports.
A failed drug test is a failed drug test. The Olympics has rules that everyone has to follow.
@@MFS45 A failed drug test after two years? Don't make me laugh.
@@alexsilent5603 No. Valieva failed the test on 7 February 2022.
@@alexsilent5603 Doping is doping. It doesn't matter at what point you do it, if you are caught doping as a professional athlete, it can affect all of your past achievements.
You Russians are absolutely allergic to taking the consequences for your actions. Entire country full of toddlers. Don't break the rules and then cry like babies when you are caught and get in trouble.
@@alexsilent5603 Despite what's going on, I still have a soft spot for Russians and their history. However, all Olympians sign a form promising they won't take banned substances. I'm surprised Russian athletes would even try, given their history with doping.
Russia doping 15-year olds… sounds about right lol
everything seems to be in order here
May Russia lose inheritance and the United States of America gain inheritance.
The comments from Russians here are so funny claiming that Americans have to steal medals to place. They’re especially ironic when Russians are claiming Ilia as one of their own (even though he’s American) now that he’s proving to be one of the best. Also, Russians medal in figure skating, but American athletes perform better than Russia overall.

Stop lying!
People throwing tantrums in the comments because a skater was found to have banned substances in her system and subsequently had a medal taken is ridiculous. No one is blaming Camila herself. This is an ongoing problem with _her country._ It's not a personal attack on her; it's a punishment of Russia.
Rules are rules, people. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Act like adults. It's not the end of the world. Don't get mad at the people upholding the rules, get mad at the people who broke them and compromised a talented athlete and her team.

she'll be back with a full beard and adam's apple for the next olympics. the russians won't screw up her doping taper twice.
That’s nice 😊
Nothing to see here.
aha ha.. same story every year ! the rudeness and drug addiction is the main advantage of russia!
And the story of Jessica Calalang, who took huge doses of illegal drugs without consequences? But thanks to American citizenship and corrupt rotten judges, she was acquitted!
IF you are an American, you can use drugs with impunity. And all thanks to American citizenship!
