Interesting that this comes right after this... https://www.3wiresports.com/articles/2024/3/12/in-a-world-of-disruption-the-olympics-confronts-the-world-friendship-games Not paying the athletes is one of the biggest vulnerabilities of the Olympics. [edit] There's also this...

The gossip is the only reason to listen to TSL. The recaps are shallow and his critique's do as much harm as good.

A great way of encouraging false reports is to lower the evidentiary standards needed for a false report to have an effect.

Christine gave way too much detail that's just going to invite speculation who the accuser is.

So you're saying Russians live rent free in your mind. The question that will linger in my mind is will western countries in figure skating actually organize themselves in ways that actually let them scout and develop talent or will console themselves with thoughts that the only reason...

Maria Sotskova had a daughter they named Vera(I think I got that right): https://www.instagram.com/p/C0w48YzrOHG/

What I find baffling about the discourse on Russian doping from people like TSL and the skatingscores guy is that there's zero attempt whatsoever to understand how Russians would go about doping without getting caught. Any doping that happens is very targeted and they certainly think about the...

I'll be surprised if there's even 10 Russians at the Olympics.

Tell Oksana to give her Olympic medal back for skating to Tchaikovsky.

There's a case that I saw linked in a Russian forum of a Jamaican swimmer that trains in the US. Jamaican Swimmer Mackenzie Headley Reprimanded By Doping Panel For Two Positive Tests Jamaican swimmer MacKenzie Headley draws IADP reprimand On the surface, it's worse than Valieva's case. The...

I'm pretty sure it was someone from the IOC to InsideTheGames.biz. I don't think that's a big deal though. It was inevitable that her status was going to be made public. What I consider a big deal is that the audio from the hearing with the Russian Disciplinary Anti-Doping Commission was leaked...

They didn't ask to be famous. Their 15 minutes of fame began with Ukrainian media and only after that did the sports.ru boomer brigade pounce.

Sotnikova is a dingbat who in her own dumb way was trying to ingratiate herself with the local(Kazan) audience by bringing parallels between her past situation and Kamilas. There's no secret confession there. It's obvious she's referring back to accusation she had her samples swapped.

They looked at all the bottles from Sochi for potential tampering. I'm unsure if they tested her B sample, but if they did it wasn't as a result of her testing positive on her A sample. It was a result of her being on a list of people who potentially had their samples swapped. And Rodchenkov...

She never tested positive. https://fs-gossips.com/the-international-olympic-committee-ioc-will-not-look-into-a-recent-doping-admission-by-a-russian-figure-skater-adelina-sotnikova/
