The last time I checked he has not been arrested or charged with anything let alone found guilty. Yes, it is concerning but in a democratic nation, like France, he isn't going to be banned from purchasing a ticket or entering the facility because of an incident that occurred in another country. Now, if he went to China, maybe the Chinese government would be so kind as to detain him.
Russian skaters have made comments that are troubling about food and water restrictions. I would hope that no federation uses these concerns to circle the wagons and claim "not us", but instead uses 2019 awareness of the devastating affects of abuse and eating disorders and cares more about the athletes than their results.
Again Canadian based coach has been starving and water restriction, Gabby is still a mess, kurakova is still under water restriction. i hope the federation bans the group from coaching, they seem to be doing nothin. Canada should ban them instead of looking at other countries...
Well, I have never heard that before. Again, ANY coaches or federation that does not take these issues seriously and look at themselves is acting irresponsibly. As for Gabby - I think she deserves compassion and support - which I hope she is getting. When we reach the point that this is not about a particular coach, federation or country and about the health and wellbeing of young women - we will be so much further ahead. I suspect the Russian quad girls are being looked at closely because no one knows if they can maintain these jumps after puberty. I suspect if they can and do - that will silence the critics.
Also, why is there a special treatment for Gabby, oh she is one of us. Instead of Russian athletes may be then focus on Alysia Liu, why is she getting a pass. All the Japanese female athletes are small and looks fragile, why are they getting a pass.
Gabby was his student when the problem started.. nice try.
Kihira is quite fragile, so does Miyahara...

Gabby was at TCC, where Orser was the Chief Coach and a supervisor. Just like Eteri is at her club.
Kihira when officially transferring from Jr. to Senior, was the same age (plus/minus few months) as most Russian girls who transfer fr jr. to sr. (including Eteri's).
I suggest you look at Gabby’s profile before claiming she’s always had Barkell for her coach. She started to train at TCC only in 2015 and had had a number of coaches before. And as long as she doesn’t point fingers where she got her eating disorder, I wouldn’t risk any conjectures.
So...... Orser had her for 3+ under his supervision..... wow! that's even worst than i thought.. Gabby had "issues" all this time, and nobody saw it or helped her?
I know. Orser is a favourite bête noire with certain people.
Brian Orser was right there with her, same rink, kiss and cry, coaching her along...... i guess only when Gabby was doing well. Looks like when she became a problem, he stepped away. right when she needed help..

If someone digs deep into "this", you'll find that he is a lot more "noire" than others...
The above situations became a one-time mention. Nobody remembers it each time a new Chinese pair or Japanese girl come out to skate. On the contrary, such newcomers are greeted with excitement...
People like you make it an "arms' race"... Eteri's girls are winning, putting on beautiful and difficult programmes.... And some people immediately find something shitty to say about them or the group.

At the rink, training with other Juniors..
