So has Valieva been tested again since the failure result?
Or would she only be tested again if she medalled....

She has already medaled since the test that was positive

@crucial so that must result in a test then? Hopefully not mixing her meds with her grandpa's again.

I haven't tried to understand the detail but it doesn't matter what the Olympic test results are too much. The question is whether she should be competing at all after testing positive pre-Olympics I think.

My understanding is Valieva got let off because she was under 16.
Have no great issue that a child be let off. She's not capable of standing up against the adults, and system foisting the drugs upon her.
Shows how weak the decision was not to ban the country entirely.

Totally disagree. It's not about her being let off. It's about the system she is part of being let off

No, I think we agree

Superb performance. Looked like the wind picked up heavily after the first run making it a nightmare for everyone to even get close to that first round benchmark set by Nico.

@nzzp Next year's winner has already been decided, and the sporting year has only just begun.

hah, true. I remember being a massive olympics fan as a child, but the more I know of it, the less interested I've got. Winter olympics are a step behind even.
The revelation that the Russians may have been doping a child to win medals was a shock I tell you, a shock. It must have been the coach acting indepedently; there's no way there's widespread, systemic doping in Russia or they wouldn't allow them to compete right?
