Valieva Banned for Four Years, Effective December 25, 2021

[Coco]

Since we've been talking about Voltaren gel, a friend's mom just posted on FB that it can be toxic to cats. Like a person had it on their hands, pets the cat, the cat licks themselves, then dies.

This sounds like a crazy urban legend, but figured I would share.

Not an urban legend.

And an article from the Cornell Daily Sun interviewing Karen Chen!

“[It] was really incredible. I can’t even put it into words — and I think I’m still processing it since it just happened really recently,” Chen said.

Now Loena will receive even more hate from the russians

I have always believed in her, but now I support the decision. A clean sport is extremely important

I was going to post the same thing. I have a bad back, and used to use Voltaren on the affected area when it would act up. Once I got my cat I did a lot of reading on what's safe and toxic to them. I threw the Voltaren away, because I was paranoid that just the tiniest bit would make the way into my cat's system.

Kia found the missing grandfather! No strawberries or suspicious glasses of water or dog bowls to be seen though

Definitely looks like they had to travel 2 hours (but more than 200m) to find him!

Poor Grandpa....how will he ever live this one down....does he even exist?

Team Eteri should get a Nobel Prize nomination for the Schrödinger’s Grandpa theory. Is he dead? Is he alive? Somehow dead/alive/nonexistent at the same time?

Physics? Chemistry? Medicine? Literature? Economics?

Physics

 

[skategal]

Definitely chemistry.

 

[On My Own]

Definitely chemistry.

Chemistry and medicine for
Physics for Schrodinger's Grandpa
Literature for Grandpa's strawberry cake
Economics for how much media coverage and "??? profit" this produced

First Figure Skating Coaching Team to EVER win all the Nobel prizes in a single year!!

Peace, too, because of the tens of thousands of people worldwide who are qualified to nominate someone.

Peace always makes the craziest decisions, so tbh this might actually really happen.

Kamila is out of the spring Tutberidze tour. No reason given in the announcement.

That's a bridge too far for Eteri... losing out on gov't funding by keeping her on the tour. Or pissing off the ISU/IOC/WADA/CAS even more, lol.

 

[caseyedwards]

it’s amazing Russia is acknowledging these intentional sports bodies and their decisions

 

[Frau Muller]

Isn’t her daughter representing Georgia at the next Worlds (ice dance)? Better to keep her mouth shut.

It's probably yet another way Eteri is throwing Kamila under the bus.

Do the Russians know how to do that?

I can't help but feel sorry for Valieva. She likely is in the situation she is in because she did everything that was asked of her and that is the thanks she gets.

I really wish that, in a few years, having had time to mull over all this, (and whatever comes next, which likely won't be pretty) the intelligent person everyone says she is will see the full picture, and SPILL.

Problem is it probably isn't safe for her to do that in Russia.
