    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.

      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.

    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.

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 ?????

    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.

      @@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.

      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.

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.

      It wasn't steroids. It was a banned substance for heart medication that increases endurance.

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.

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.

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.

    And now the United States will sit with other people’s medals, look at them and understand that it will never deserve these!!! That these are other people's medals!!!

    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.

      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.

    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.

This is setting a very bad example and her coach, doctor, and parents are accountable as well. There are rules everyone has to go by and it's not fair to the other competitors to allow her to break them and still compete. They have worked a lifetime for this 1 chance also.

    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
