According to anti doping specialist Hajo Seppelt, who was the one uncovering the Sotchi scandal, the girls are being given an assortment of pills especially during training camps without knowing exactly, what's in them...

Not in Germany. I just took Voltaren pills for Achilles tendonitis. But you are not supposed to take it longer than a week or regularly. Just short term for acute inflammation.

Since Karel Fajfr was allowed to coach again after beeing sentenced to two years on parole and three years of professional ban for sexual abuse, general abuse and assault, I'm not convinced. Fast forward to 2019 and he was accused of assault again. The parent only knew of his history after the...

It's not arbitrary though, if they follow through with the same rule for the rest of the decisions. They bumped up the skaters for the other two competitions. Following the current logic of the TE decision, they would have to leave the European title vacant as well as fourth place Olys and leave...

Actually no. As others have stated, Russia would be one point behind Canada, because Shizas would have gained one point for each portion of the competition, if Valievas placement is taken out of the equation.

Just because doping in figure skating is hushed over, doesn't mean it didn't and doesn't happen. The doping of figure skaters in the GDR is well documented. Witt and Steuer for example were given oral-turinabol, Woetzel was given anti growth hormones. Pairs skater Rolf Österreich, silver in...

And Putins baby mama on top of it. Canˋt make this stuff up. And claimed they just took medication helping with premenstrual syndrom at the time.

Living costs would be more it less the same between Italy and Germany. It‘s not like they went to California and expect everything to be payed for. And they are not only talking about themselves, but about the financing in a niche sport like figure skating.

His grandfather was from Ukraine on his father`s side. It`s besides the point though, because the moral question arises from the war now and wasn`t relevant then.

Yes, I`m sure that`s a big part of the motivation. Still, I also think Harry is starting to realize, that being essentially without family from both sides is lonely business. Also it`s extremly ironic that by beeing so desperate to control the narrative via "surrogate" they gave this pathetic...

"It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor." From the royal website...

I think It`s all very sad. Because Harry was publicly sending out signals that he wanted to try to get back into the fold and let bygones be bygones. Even Meghan seemed to have realized that the constant negativity was bad for their brand and no option in order to move forward with new ventures...

Yes. In German it`s pee in the soup, by the way :giggle:
