1. Let me state that I am very anti-Russian and truly despise Putin and all he is and the people of Russia that voted for the ruthless man!
2. I truly disagree with the IOC on their decision not to hold any medal ceremonies if Kamila Valieva is involved!
The IOC decision to punish her and Russia not only hurt the young lady and the Russian team but also the other teams that finished that would have medaled.
These ceremonies are important for the people that won medals and is unfair to say “ we she is part of it so no medals “!
3. I truly believe the reason behind this is more politically motivated than truly punishing a cheater because the person ( Kamila ) involved is ruled as a protective person or class which mean the ruling court couldn’t say if she understood the drug she was using was banned, so go with the court decision and let not use the girl as a way to piss off Putin.
Why do I suggest or believe this?
Putin is a big fan of the Winter Olympics and especially Figure Skating and especially Female Figure Skating ( and he also loves the Summer Olympics with Gymnastics ), so I truly believe the horrible ruling is more political than going after a true cheater.
Final Note:
Believe it or not ( no I am not walking on air ) I was once a athlete and had a few professional Baseball and Football players in the family, so my personal opinion do not punish the young girl and her team and do not punish the U.S. and other teams also that have medaled or will medaled because you want to go after Putin because I truly do not believe the IOC ruling was because the girl usage of the banned substance but this is a slap at Putin for his possible invasion of the Ukraine and if so those pulling the IOC strings ( France and the U.S. ) need to remember something so small like this can piss off Putin.
Now with that Stated I truly wish the IOC would let the medal ceremonies commence and if later a ruling says the Russians should be stripped of their medal then do it later because what the IOC is doing in my personal opinion is wrong…
