- Christine Brennan and Patrick McEnroe take the Russian Olympic Committee and the IOC to task in the wake of World Champion figure skater Kamila Valieva's "heartbreaking" Olympics finish just days after being in embroiled in controversy over a failed drug test.
#ChristineBrennan #CNN #AtThisHour
after she saw that she was the fourth, she said "but the ceremony will not be canceled now" and began to sob, it's so heartbreaking and it breaks my heart
that confirms my suspicion, that she performed bad on purpose, to save the other girls!
Stop showing her falling please!
Show the jerks that ruined her…
I feel very bad for her. Her "handlers" need to be jailed for what they did to this fantastic athlete.
Blame those who accuse her of doping. What if its another WMD in Iraq.
@@sj8223 the US is the one thst is pure evil. Who killed 10 million Native Americans for the land to be theirs? Who kidnap Africans from their land to be their slave at their cotton plantations, who drop 2 nuclear bombs in Japan, who killed thousands of men women and children using drone strike? Who is supporting Saudia Arabia to commit genocide in Yemen and who is supporting Israel to commit genocide in Palestine.
@@marinavoronovskaya.7955 leave them alone in their brainwashed community. If CNN would tell them for years that human meat is good for health, they all would become cannibals without any fact checking.
@@marinavoronovskaya.7955 - Luckily for you, that evil coach is not actually Russian. She is Georgian.
She wasn't very fantastic if she needed a drug to skate.
Mental pressures such as mental stress and anxiety can affect both physical, mental and emotion of any athlete no matter how trained such athelete are! The Russian sweet and definitely a champion in her own right is no exception. This fifteen years old Kamila Valieva is in the "investigative spotlight!" So, one can easily imagine the heavy toll of stresses around happening to this prodigious Russia figure skating champion! The effect is clearly seen in Valieva's performance. My heart goes to this beleaguered Russian gifted figure ice skating. She has nothing to be ashamed of! She is a champion with notable record to be proud of!🤗❤💕🇷🇺⛸️
I do not think a 15 year old has the emotional/mental bandwidth to tolerate this kind of crap. Age limits are needed.
Absolutely. Her age was part of the reason they gave her special treatment.
I don’t know I think it’s fine for minors to compete at this high level if they are physically able to. Many of the best gymnasts are under 18 at their prime. The issue here is giving performance enhancing drugs to a minor.
It's an unfortunately consequence of going to a more technical judging system. Women aren't as easily able to consistently land quads. These russians peak at 17 max and then retire. It's a pattern.
I think better would be harshly judging the technique of the jump, not the ability to perform it. Tutberidze's girls land quads, yeah... but they aren't doing them with skill.. but rather using their flexible young backs to take the brunt of the force. They also cheat the entry, but that doesn't seem to be judged badly.
There's no reason to reward if the techniques you use cheat the entry.
I mean, all three skaters have nothing on the perfect execution of Kaori Sakamoto's program.
People can lie and Russia can forge fake documents .
It's a great idea in principle but it won't work
@@hannahdyson7129 Yep. This. 2008 Chinese gymnasts anyone?
I feel so sorry for her for being used and discarded by the people she trusted. I also feel sorry for all the other skaters who’s hard work is overshadowed by this fiasco :(

Believe me, people in Russia feel as bad about this situation as all of you. “Russians, are you happy?” - No, we’re not!
Do you have a prediction on what Kamila might do about this and her coaches?
Russians are never happy.
Are you happy with invading Ukraine??
@@hus390 This question has what to do with Kamila and skating? 😶
Putin attacked Ukraine without provocation and now Russian soldiers are dying and left to rot on the ground. Your government is lying to you, Ukraine is not full of nazis, the leader is Jewish! Putin lied to the soldiers too, and they are killing innocent children! Don't believe state tv. They are LYING
Shame on the coaches for making her feel so badly instead of comforting her. Shame on ALL the adults for allowing her to take the drugs or perhaps even giving them to her. She's a child! They should all be banned from sports.
Yeah, the Russian female coach was known for being a real b**** if you know what I mean. The only thing she cared about was pushing these young kids to the limit so they could win medals for Russia. There was no comfort forthcoming for ANY of those skaters.. It's called child abuse.

clearly she needed them LOL LOOK AT HOW MANY TIMES SHE FELL 💀😹
@@fartmonkey7896 Maybe because the pressure of the brainwashers like CNN got to her?? How would you react to having the weight of the world on your soldiers at 15 while the proof and investigation are not clear and fully done yet??
@@meself349 Eteri is a great coach, it is pressure that got to the whole team, she was SHOCKED how Valieva skated as most likely she has never skated like this in her life. If you don't know much about her, it is better not to comment at all. She is strict but she is very fair, check the video where she fall into tiers when current Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova performed at the All Russian championship just after she had covid. She specifies in her interviews that parents always present at the training sessions and can see her training method.
Never at one point did I blame this poor kid through this ordeal. These kids are brainwashed from a very young age and have little to no control over what they are told to put in their bodies. I blame whichever coach(es) forced her to take any banned substances as well as the IOC for all this crap. Trust and believe that this 15 y/o girl was a victim in all this.
Yes. Her and the other athletes who should've only had to worry about themselves and competing in a clean competition.
There was never any doubt in my mind, that Kamila Valieva was the victim of severe child abuse, at the hands of her coach. The IOC and CAS really failed her, by allowing her to compete. This poor girl humiliated herself in front of the entire world, at the tender age of fifteen. Not one adult tried to protect her. She was used and abused by everyone, and now will be discarded as the embarrassment of Russia.
Exactly...the med makes the heart muscle beat harder and there fore longer nd harder muscle contractility ....
better worry about the men in women's sports in the usa.
ага ага напичкали бедного ребёнка взрослые. Родители такой умной девочки, великие тренера взяли и заставили скушать дозу, которая во первых ни черта не помогла бы ей а во вторых у этих взрослых должна быть как минимум олигофрения, что бы перед олимпиадой ,зная что будет тест, зная какое пристальное внимание к российским спортсменам и давать ребёнку допинг, или может всё таки у них нет олигофрении и они вполне себе адекватные люди чтоб такого не делать????Может всё таки стоит наконец то пораскинуть мозгами и понять, что что-то произошло? Либо подстава либо какая-то нелепая случайность ,неужели кто-то верит....божеееее
Doping minors has got to be a crime in any country. How is that not child abuse and not violate human rights?
My thoughts exactly! human greed sucks
It's Russia, they don't give a fuck...
You are talking about a person from a country that sent millions of their own people to the gulag. Don't expect to much!
Yes dude....it is Russia. Other countries don't have the Standards that other countries have.
its not just Russia. America has had some scandals too but just not on their level.
Incredibly heartbreaking to see this young child crushed by those who exploited her. The sheer talent was evident without any intrusive measures.
Wishing her all the best, stay strong Kamila ❤️
what are you talking about? Corrupt Wada officials attacked her without any evidence. They were able to break the psyche of the child. They are jubilant. She will come back and prove to all these miserable officials that they are an empty place.
Abandon this sport, this whole thing has turned to garbage and is now tainted with russians that are doping rendering the work non dopers do completely null and void.
@@christopher3790 How do you know about doping? Doping is used by Western athletes. In this sport, doping does not work, there is no effect. Athletes with doping are Simon's gymnast, the Williams Sisters, they all look like men. Overt steroid use and hormone therapy.

ICO and uninted state make this happened. they pressure the 15 years old girls, saying even if she win the game, no gold no celibration.
I just saw it. Man, that was the most dramatic scene I’ve seen on any sport.
So many emotions.
Shame on Christine for bullying her in the last broadcast. Shame on America. Shame on CNN.
This debacle was horrible but 100% predictable. When the IOC rules are not strictly enforced, chaos happens immediately, every time, like clockwork. It's not complicated.
So you are "rule based" not law based. What bout the ruling of The Court of Arbitration for Sport? It is the highest legal body to determine her qualification.
Bring back Tonya!!!!!❤️
should have taken grandfather's medication again or gotten close to to take a sniff
@@shawnhennity1769 - If Kamila Valieva commits suicide, in the next few years, CAS is partially responsible. By allowing her to skate, she humiliated herself in front of the entire world, at the tender age of 15. Eteri Tutberidze yelled at her, and people asp suspect physically beat her. This girl was abused by every adult in her life, and CAS turned a blind eye.
Why not Blame herself? the other two women tested negative ( same coach). Means it could have been her desire to win the gold and being the best. What about her family? Could have been her parents forcing her to be the best and her best is not enough and that lead her taking some drugs.
Well, the American media, be delighted. You broke the best figure skater in the world. Mean and envious people.
Her own terrible country broke her up
Olympics management pressure and fear placed on Kamila took her confidence away and that made her fall in performance. Still, she is best skater in the world today to me and most people the world watching Olympics and the real gold medalist in 2022 Olympics figure skating. I mean wow, the elegance, grace, difficulties, dance moves, almost perfect.
th-cam.com/video/7Gf6-IgljyE/w-d-xo.html
Or maybe she didnt receive her daily dose of doping…
We don’t know if she is the best skater because she was taking performance drugs and now since she didn’t have them maybe this is her true talent mediocre
@@tomasreznicek she's probably coming down off the drugs. These things really hit the jody hard especially on a young girl.
I think this brave awesome skater threw her chance away intentially, so that the other Russian skaters could get their medals, what a brave brave girl 👏👏👏
I saw her other performances and they were otherworldly! She has so much talent and skill. Its absolutely obvious that this performance she was dealing with emotions that distracted her mind from her skating. She deserves the gold for her other performances alone.
th-cam.com/video/iCgWCChypBg/w-d-xo.html
Do we know when she performed in other skating events she was not assisted with the same drug? This is why she will forever be marked by this incident.
Who gives a 💩.
She wasn't distracted. She was TOLD to fall during that final event. A skater with such incredible balance and skill and she falls all of a sudden four times in one event???? REALLY? The Olympic committee had already stipulated that because of the doping allegations against her that if she got the gold, neither she nor ANY OTHER Russian skaters in the top three they would be able to receive awards publicly on the podium afterwards. Do you think the Russians were going to settle for that? Obviously not. So they told her to fall on purpose multiple times so she wouldn't get the gold which she otherwise would have gotten. So the other winning Russian skaters would get their awards on the podium. For the whole world to see. It's called child abuse. The team doctor also doped this girl. He had already been caught doing it in the past. It was all dirty. The Russian coach didn't care about her either. The Russians are all about winning. Coach was a slave driver, driving this poor young girl like an animal.
@@meself349 She told you this? You must know Kamila very well. 🙄🙄🙄
As someone who skates, I've been watching Kamila's talent for years and she is just a marvel. I and many others predicted even just a few seasons ago that she would become the 2022 Olympic Gold Medalist. This has been heartbreaking on so many levels. The OGM, Anna Shcherbakova, looked lost and confused when she should have been celebrating. Also, look up Dr. Shvetsky. I think he's played a big part in this with Eteri & company
Could she have made the choice to fail? I ask because if she didn’t know about the dope and found out like we all did… Maybe this was her way of retaliating…? I’m just trying to understand.
@@1Storm6 I think we all are. There's just so many questions, and I sincerely hope they will actually investigate Sambo-70 (the skating rink in Moscow) where they all train so this doesn't ever happen again.
Pretty sure with how backwards Russian and Chinese in power think. They probably made her fail since she doesnt have free will under Russia for being in a spot to represent their country to try to guilt trip the West and the Olympics
Also a figure skater, but within the roller world. Also so sad and it was almost painful to watch. I feel sorry for the girl.
I can't help feel she's been publicly shamed and bullied by Adults 😐.. Clearly her talent is Gold medal Olympian.. Every pundit that pointed out their negativity upon her should reflect on their choice of action.
Christine Brennan nailed it "child abuse". People are blaming Kamila, a child, we can't blame her at all. I blame her coaches and Russia they want the little darling
You blame Russia? What for? Why all Roussian (it's correct) people are guilty for this? Firstly, prove that it was doping, that she wanted to use it. Do you remember American sportsmen that were dopingists? A lot! Some of them were not guilty according to court's decision.
Exactly!!!
@@solzach2293 they just can't stop buying Russia-hate... they need an enemy.. totally brainwashed nation
Chrstinne Brennan is the worst kind of journalist. She's always thrown mud at Russian athletes. She helped destroy this 15 year girl, and now she is using her as a tool to destroy the coaching staff. Maybe she can explain how a heart drug (that has questionable performance enhancement) can end up in a 15 year old 2 months before the olympics and help her win a gold medal.
The grown-ups in charge to lead this 15 year old the right path from start to finish all failed her. This girl did not need any form of performance enhancement or medication BS. She was gold metal material without this crap.
FROM RUSSIA COMMENT: what are you saying??? That's not Russian fault, scandal is about a mistake, and not Russian make it. The doze of trimetosidin was really tiny, and Kamila get it because of her grandfather, who has a heart troubles ( but it was so good for peopke so they use it make a scandal. Watch kamila's family's
@@user-ct1rh6dh4z No ref, those drugs inside my body aren't mine! They...they...they are my grandfather's!
LOL give me a break.
she was framed/ usa needed the scandal and used Kamila for it/ since she everyone was talking about her so they picked her to use her to make a worldwide scandal
@@Anonymous_starrrr ROFL i bet you think the Earth is flat too, huh? Hahahaha
Or maybe she wasn’t, thats why she needed doping
Poor girl! She's just 15! So tender! Those, who gave her some drugs or anything, should go to jail! Not her!
In America...
Trump=Coach
Fox News= Doctors that provide the PEDs

@Diaper Don the Con 2.0 Ohhhh You bad! :P
She knew what she was doing
@@aishabintabubakr4944 She might not have known but that shouldn't matter.. The rules say that if you have a banned substance in your system you can not compete. If she did know.. bad on her. If she didn't bad on whoomever doped her up.
@Diaper Don the Con 2.0
Age is just a minor detail for Gaetz.
I think about how Simone Biles was able to make a really hard but good decision for herself, and how well she is doing now. And, that she had to fight her way to the top in the corrupt, abusive US gymnastics training system. She was older had had more emotional support.
Valieva’s coach/trainer’s first words to her (after she stumbled numerous times) after she finished her routine “Why did you let it go? Explain to me, why?” “Why did you stop fighting? You let it go after the axel, why?”
No hugs, no nothing, just words from a monster of a coach/trainer. The words were translated from Russian and is all over social media immediately after she finished.
Many of these sports are abusive to athletes. No matter the country. US Gymnastics is abusive. The Russian Federation's gymnastics and skating are certainly abusive. It's how they operate.
But on top of that, the Russians pumped these young girls up with all kinds of drugs. And then if they don't meet expectations, they're left alone to face the failure. It's truly horrible the way they treat these poor kids.
@@petedavis7970 - Kamila Valieva’s free skate was the cry for help, of an abused teenage girl. The world watched as Russia sacrificed a teenager, in the egotistical desire for an Olympic gold. The IOC and CAS should have protected her, but instead turned a blind eye towards blatant child abuse. Russia did not deserve the benefit of the doubt, because they took advantage of a loophole that classifies minors as “protected persons”.
This kid is most definitely the best skater I’ve ever seen in my 63 years ! It’s such a shame what her people did to her career by injecting her with performance enhancing drugs !
It never appeared to me that she needed them ! Her best bet would be to get out of that country and build a career for herself ! She definitely has the talent ! Her heart is in it ! I wish her the best ! It’s so sad what they did to her !
Next Gary Kasparov?
She doesn't have the talent if it's due to drugs, though. There's a reason none of these skaters will return for 2026. Kamila MIGHT return as she will be 19, but the other two are now too old and are disposable to Eteri (her coach). Only girls who haven't finished puberty and have been subjected to harsh training can do those spins.
It's really not just about the drug for Kamila though. It really calls into question ALL three of the top Russian skaters. Given that her COACH is the one responsible for administering the drug, it's really brings into question the training regime.
Agree She may have no chance to compete for another Olympic for Russia . She should get out of the country.
Yuna Kim was better
Calm down, the investigation is not over yet. It’s just allegations still.
Shame on Russia shame on Olympics.
She's essentially a child and her team let her down & set her up for failure. She should have never competed in the Olympic games when she was tested positive for a banned substance. Everything about this is rotten. We all know how bad Russian athletics is when it comes to doping but the IOC should have banned her from competing.
It's a crime what they did to this kid. We all make mistakes, but she's just 15 years old after all. Such an outstanding talent. Will the world be satisfied when this kid does herself harm? Shame to the media and all the involved functionaires and adults ...
Drug abuse may also lead to self harming, just saying...
Elite atheletes competing at the highest level of their sport are expected to follow the rules. Period.
Coach Rafael Arutyunyan made a comment a few years ago about these young girls being treated like disposable coffee cups. Spot on.
The IOC took a stand against South Africa in the past and banned athletes from that country from competing in the Olympics because of apartheid.
It is time for the IOC to get a backbone and do this again.
I feel for Kamila, as we may not see her in an Olympics again because the next crop of children are waiting in the wings to take her place, which is why we no longer see Alina or Evgenia competing.
There is so much an older, more mature skater can offer figure skating because of their experiences, but it's being swallowed up more and more as time goes on. It doesn't have to be all about the quads.
I hadn't heard that comment by Rafael Arutyunyan but very true.
You are right. Nobody talks about the technique the Russian girls are taught to perform the quad jumps. They basically do not take off on their toe pick as they are moving forward. When you do that, your back it straight But, you MUST complete all four rotations in the air if you do it that way. All adult skaters do it that way. It's much harder and that is why you don't see them do five quads in one program.
The younger girls are taught by their Russian coach to do something different. It's a technique that only a smaller lighter weight body can perform. However, it destroys your back, and you retire young, with injuries, and nobody talks about you ever again, while the newest 15 year old is putting five quads in her program, only to destroy her back and retire young to be replaced yet again.
They don't take off until they are already rotating, meaning they don't actually rotate four times in the air as an adult does. It's technically allowed. So, they start their first rotation, kick before they complete the rotation. But since they are already rotating, the top of their body is spinning faster than their body as they use the pick to lift up. This is what causes their eventual back injuries, as you can only do this so many times before you have damaged your back. It's a way of allowing them to technically complete a "quad", without having to do a true quad, but it damages the spine. The Russians don't care about the skater, they just want the medals. The skaters are all throw-away.
why did they ban south africa because of apartheid? what does that have to do with figure skating?
The older athletes can do the 'tricks' the young teens can do
The problem is allowing children to take part in the first place. Figure skating scoring leans way too heavy on jumps and the most valuable jumps are almost impossible for girls over the age of 18. That's why you always see under 18's making the big jumps. And what kind of a meat grinder has the little girl go through in order to reach that level... Figure skating should get their shit together. Huge majority of top figure skaters quit after the age of 21. They can't compete as they lack the light frame of a teenager. Muscles are too well developed. Too heavy... And of course, some have their psyches broken by the impossible demands of their coaches... Her coach is a monster too. Every girl she has coached has quit their careers after the age of 21. A huge track record of breaking teenage girls apart.. Silver medalist, Trusova will be the next one to leave figure skating because of its toxic culture.
I agree with the IOC in that she is a child, but if she cannot be held to the same degree of accountability as adults, then she shouldn't be competing with adults. To see her just crushed by the judgement and reduced to ice shavings breaks my heart. Shame on the adults who brought this on her. She's a lovely talent who should have had the chance to compete clean and bring the athletic community to its knees. It's just so unfair, for all the athletes training with this cloud of uncertainty looming over them the last week, and ultimately this great talent. I hope she can find joy, come back, and realize that many hate the adults responsible for this and what she was subjected to, not her.
The coach and her entourage should be locked up for a very long time for child abuse!!!! SOVIET GREED AS USUAL!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And what about the mental health of those CLEAN athletes that were impacted by this decision to allow her to skate. She should have been out, and the Russian team should not receive the gold medal either. SHAME RUSSIA!
If allowed to skate it just shows these craven adults that you can dope children without repercussion. Ensuring it happens even more to the youngest athletes.
@@elbi5333 - Young You of South Korea apparently told the judges to screw themselves, after she finished her free skate. She would have been the bronze medalist, if the Russians were disqualified.
@Annie497 Unfortunately that's not how it works in Russia . There is too much competition that they have one shot and they are out .
There’s an enormous of pressure heaped onto these world class athletes, we’ve seen it with professional tennis stars who have given notice to the global pressure placed onto them, some of our own gymnastic stars have felt the pressure as well at past Olympics, People like Michael Phelps have talked about it, so this to me is something that goes with dealing with those psychological issues and how they greatly influence physical issues, in my humble opinion, of course maturity of mind and body are not always in sync
What are you waffling on about these athletes get paid a lot of money, they make a choice to do it, tennis players get paid millions of dollars so they put pressure on themselves to win, make no mistake they choose their life so please dont try make out their hard done by they all know the do's and donts and whats legal, 15 or 30 she will always be known as a drug cheat

Are we feeling the same for the USA athlete that was banned because she used weed when her mother died?
I can't skate. Please tell me the name of the drug that Valieva was taking, maybe these pills will teach me how to skate so beautifully ...
I feel sorry Kamila was treated like that. Relying on the probe taken from 25th of DECEMBER seems to be ridiculous. There’s been plenty of time to handle the situation accordingly. But it was ‘coincidentally’ worked out the way it is now. Something should’ve been done different and I’m pretty sure it’s all about politics. They were all silent up to the point she won the gold medal. Too suspicious

Children should not be part of the Olympic Games for adults. Even adults have problems dealing with the stress of competing with their peers, why letting children exposed to this level of stress in the complicated adult world they don’t comprehend? It’s incomprehensible that IOC wants children under 18 to participate in adult sports event. If they are doing it for profit, shame on them.
And many are abused,even adults
@Lindy T They do have teens olympics, its called the Youth Olympics. There wont be a Youth Summer Olympics this year because Covid, but there will be one in 2026 in Dakar, and a 2024 Youth Winter Olympics will be held in Korea.
minimum age 14 maximum 17. (You can turn 18 during the year of the games, but not before.)
I competed at the 2020 Youth Winter Olympics (In January before shit hit the fan) and I had the option to try qualify for these winter olympics, I could choose between staying in the junior category [while im still young enough], with less pressure, and more training, or move up to the senior category and try qualify. I chose to stay junior. Thank god I did, I have many friends in the senior category and watching them fall apart, friendships get destroyed, their mental health collapse from the stress of qualification, it was horrifying. I don't know if I will try to go to 2026.
And I am from a tiny sport and an even tinier country, no one expects anything of me. I cannot possibly fathom being in a sport where the entire world is watching, and a nation that everyone expects to do well in.
I think this has become exploitive especially in women’s gymnastics and ice skating. Teams from countries that tend to have curvier bodies have a disadvantage when spinning jumps are the most important point winners. It seems the gymnastics team made some progress.
These young athletes have no life as a child. There's a difference if a kid naturally gravitates to that competitive drive, but this is and always has been child abuse.
Stop watching the news everyone it’s fake!
@@itzyourboiluke2738 you're fake!
what a child abuse! girls are masters, respectfull people. blood for beauty, nothing is free, it sad but it live
This case is abusive, but is unfair to say that all children pursuing elite Olympic sports are in an abusive situation. Not true, dear.
But it's not child abuse when the US wins gold in gymnastics, right?
Cristina, thank you for giving some compassion to Kamila. Seems that the media (Tara and Jonnie ) will not take any blame for this debacle. When people have a platform, they did to be careful about the ultimate harm that is done with negative words. Five days ago, they are saying she is the greatest skater that ever lived, now today they threw her under the bus.
They threw her under the bus because she was caught cheating.
Her coach threw her under the bus. She only wanted a sweep of the medals... and knew that at least one of her doped little girls would ascend to the top. Part of me is unsure whether the coach tried to make her fail (as the fallout would be less focused on her) or if she didn't care. Either way, Eteri could not lose this one (short term) but hopefully long-term something can be done.
It would APPEAR that at least the judges gave Anna higher scores for her artistic performance, making the difference, which made little Trusova (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ as Trusova put out a massive number of quads.
She deliberately failed, so that her Russian team mates could stand at the podium for the medals. Whether she was ordered to do so is the question.
Why are people acting like the western media didn't also add a shit ton of pressure on her? She's 15 and look at how people were coming after her for what was literally out of her hands. Poor kid.
It wasn’t. She is a cheat .
“Western” media? The ENTIRE world is looking at her. What do you expect when a 15 year old gold medal favorite has a positive doping test at the olympics? If you want to blame someone blame her coaches. They did this to themselves
@@harlepas and you're part of the problem here.

How old is 15 really?
She won't... not for an Olympics None of them will. Kalina will be 19 in 2026. Too old for Tutberidze's little girl squad. Already there are some 12-year olds ready to replace these girls.

What do you mean 'unexpected'? If she won, her teammates wouldn't get their medals. What she did was noble, because she sacrificed herself. She still is the best.
So you think she sacrificed herself?
@@victorbonilla4634 Absolutely. Though I am sure it was coache's decision
@@victorbonilla4634 Hell no
Ultimately the blame for all of this goes straight to the IOC. Instead the IOC is strangely silent about this whole mess. It's sad that Kamila and all the other athletes have to put up with this BS.
IOC tried to ban her. They are guilty of closing their eyes to the issues in camp eteri, but it is Russia and Kamila's coaches who insisted on her competing in spite of the doping.
Now you can appreciate why Simone Biles pulled out.
No one could appreciate it. All they did was criticise her and we all know why. This girls scandal is far worse and everyone feels very sorry for her
I don’t think that you can compare the two.
This is Far worse!!!!
Not that Simone wasn’t going through her own issues!
I hope she makes it through the rain!!!
I hope they both do!
Whoever gave her the drugs should be held accountable.
At the end of the day the responsibility lies with her.
Where are her parents? Do they not hold some responsibility?
Sometimes the parents turn their children over to the coaches and thinking the coaches are stand in parents and let them have responsibility over their children. Her coach is now being investigated.
I miss the good old days of figure skating, skaters hiring thugs to injure their rival. None of this scandalous drug stuff.
Figure skating is a complete joke. That people still watch it is disturbing.
😆🤦🏽♀️
Watch movie I Tonya, Harding was innocent
She is the best figure skater that I have ever seen. My heart breaks for her, I can't even imagine what it's like for her, she was absolutely devastated and her disgusting coaches whom I have no doubt that fed her the pills should be barred from coaching forever. The exploitation is unspeakable, I'm sure with the doping stigma she'll be tossed aside and many more of her will take her place. Very sad.
Well , I think her beautiful talents came from the devilish coach.
Почему её анализы за декабрь стали известны только перед чемпионатом. Её анализы перед чемпионатом были чисты. Ничтожное количество лекарств её дедушки попавшие к ней не могли изменить ничего. Алиева Герой страны. Организаторский буллинг ребёнка оправдать нельзя!
I know. I've never seen a more Beautiful and emotive skater. Powerful, dances with their whole body, use of arm leg and hand extensions. Absolutely marvelous. I'm so pissed because she deserve the gold, and if they don't reform figure skating, she will be discarded and replaced by the youngsters coming out of Russia that can do quadruple jumps that she will not be able to do when she's 19 years old at the next Olympics. Her Artistry alone should Garner of gold
These commentator are narcissistic. You abuse a 15yr old all week and when she crumbles under pressure you come out and pretend you care about her?
Trusova was crying because she felt cheated by the IOC after landing 5quads not because of anything else. Report facts not propaganda.
Utter rubbish.
Now I know someone is truthful about all what happened. They sympathize in the open but they grinned in secret.
Right to the point. When she was winning everybody threw trash on her blaming on doping abuse . When she lost, all of a sudden they started feeling bad for her and directed their anger to her coach. The reason of these girls winning all medals on all competitions was hard work, more work than other athletes do.
Trusova lost her gold medal because of political view of judge from Netherlands whose score was low for 10 points from highest point she got.
It's the best outcome honestly for everyone in current state. The stress is not just on Valieva but on all the skaters, especially her 2 teammates - to the point where Trusova had an outburst live on camera. She said what all of us have been saying. It's not just Valieva that was likely mistreated behind closed door in her training.
I believe Trusova, the silver medalist, had an outburst not because she was mistreated but because she didn't get to win gold...

You can see the interview with Eteri Tutberidze before the Olympics. And everything will become clear to you. Don't believe Western media if you want to know the truth. She said that Anna Shcherbakova has the strongest character. Camila has everything for a figure skater. But most of all she was worried about Sasha Trusova. Eteri Tutberidze said that he really wants Sasha Trusova's dream to come true (to make five quarters at the Olympics). And she said one phrase prophetic. "All three girls are worthy of Olympic gold, but there is only one gold medal." You should have looked at the eyes of Eteri Tutberidze, they were waiting for a tragedy for themselves and for the two losing students. Sorry for my bad english.
Katharina Witt cried on german TV about Kamila and what they had done to her. Shame on all who did that to that child!
Christine, you said it was "heartbreaking"? You were part of the abuse; you got into her head just as you intended. God have mercy on your wicked soul.
That’s well said…
Agree! Catty, cruel adults.
I feel so sorry for this child. Absolutely, shame on all of them. She is a child. This is horrible.
Bullying child Valieva
Blah blah She must not be able to skate without her drugs 🤣🤣
Did you feel sorry when she was winning?
What about all the other Russian skaters who go through the same child abuse starting at about age 3. Doping or not, these children all suffer from abuse on their rise to the top. Why only sympathy for this particular child? I love how people draw the line at doping as child abuse.
@@dannycarlow8204 God, I hope people are outraged by the training techniques and calling it abuse because of all of it. This coach needs to be banned. The reason people are upset about this is because we will never know the truth about how all three of these heart medications ended up in her system, as well as the mental abuse from her coaches. And it's not just her, it's all of the girls on the team (not with the medication) but with the mental abuse.
So many say “she’s just a kid.”
This spectacle is just one reason children shouldn’t be competing at this level.
Thank you for thinking of this child. Beautiful girl.
15 years old is old enough! My country got 13 year old gold and 12 year old silver Olympic medalists last year. They don't accidentally take grandpa's medicine. All Olympians must be very resposible and careful about doping issue! This 15 year old must be really stupid. My country is one of the cleanest regarding those doping issues too.

Каким лекарствами её кормили? За весь год в её анализах нашли только частицу дедушкиных таблеток и раздули скандал. При этом анализ был сдам 3 месяца назад. Зачем они тянули с этим до Олимпиады, зачем не начали разбираться сразу? В итоге ночью перед выступлением ребёнок 7 часов сидел в суде, когда другие спали и готовились. Всё это попытка слить будушего чемпиона от России и не более. Россия годами побеждает в фигурном катании, к этой стране всегда пристальное внимание этих людей.

Heart breaking and yes, the abuse of the child.
I wouldn’t be too sure of that. 15 year old children can be quite cunning when it comes to something they want badly. They’ll do just about anything to get it….even cheat. I’m sure she had help….someone had to get that heart medication for her….explain to her how it works and when to take it. No way is she innocent in this fiasco ….no way.
Oh, common already, cry baby. When mother disciplines her child and asking why kid got bad grade at school, is this also child abuse? Eteri is an athlete coach - not a nanny, or mental specialist. This stupid US media exaggerating the situation probably because they are jealous of Eteri success. She is one of the best skating coach, and she treats her girls with care.
Poor child. How dare they even let her compete! Shame on everyone who allowed this it happen. Its heartbreaking knowing she fell apart out there and it’s not not surprising at all because she’s is just a child. I truly hope she finds a new coach and keeps training and comes back in 4 years.
This child is stronger than all of the adults of this world that bullied her all the way.
She was tested 30 times since 19.08.2019 and all her tests were OK,she was tested 1 week before and during the Olympics and again,it was okey.
The number of substance,which was detected was insignificant and couldn't help her.
So let's see what the investigation will discover.Truly believe in her innocense.
Yeah, it appears that Eteri got sloppy/overconfident. And it's not that these drugs help during competition, they help little girls to train harder and faster, and it's reported that they delay puberty as well, which is an essential strategy as few if any women can consistently put out that many backloaded quads consistently.

@@dannycarlow8204 Russia has been well known to condition their Olympic athletes and coerce them. No way in hell she was knowingly taking those drugs without their knowing. Only question was, was it involuntary and they told her it was vitamins or some shit, it was voluntary but not really if she wanted to remain on the team, or was it voluntary because they told her it was gonna help her be the best and she wanted that? So yeah, she's the victim.
@@TheLastLineLive If all of a sudden I magically was able to run flat out for a much longer time than I have ever been able to I would definitely notice. She had to know she was suddenly able to do things she previously couldn't. Whether she knew she was actually taking them is disputable until we know the facts. A reasonable person would believe that she definitely knew something was different within her body. With Russia's history that she absolutely knew, she had to have an idea of what was going on at the very least. Just because she is 15 doesn't make her immune to the punishment of cheating. Of course this is child abuse but her abuse started a long time before this whole deal. I bet if this never happened and she was perfect and won, the child abuse she was the victim of would never have crossed your mind. Her and her teammates have been victims since approximately age 3 when they are chosen for potential greatness. This is how it works there. These athletes are just a commodity to them.
I wish the best for her. I'm only getting into this sport and clearly could see she is the best world class skater. I hope she returns on the world stage victorious and over comes this. Shes only 15 and can.
unfortunately Eteri's students have an expiration date of two years at a senior level. You are only getting into skating and there's a huge back story. Too much for me to post. but Eteri's students are referred to as disposable plastic bottles. This is due to cruel and unethical training including but not limited to, puberty suppression medication, training on major injuries, plus mental abuse which included putting one skater in a trash can due to a bad practice session. Plus, she teaches bad technique which no longer works for a skater once their body matures. Kamila is essentially done unless she switches coaches. But if she is given a suspension for doping, she will likely not come back. Eteri collects an outrageous 40% of her skaters winnings and endorsements. Eteri builds them up, gets the medals and money and then destroys them in a 3 year period. One year in juniors and two in seniors. Kamila will not likely get to her second year in seniors. You should subscribe to the Skating Lesson on TH-cam and listen to some of the interviews and podcasts and you will get a better understanding of who Eteri is and it will also build your history and understanding of the sport.

It is wrong that she was competing, because she was fabulous with that performance enhancing drug, but unable to do olympic quality skating without it. And what long term harm was it potentially doing to her heart?
And what about her soul?
At her age, she doesn't have the maturity to deal with the blowback of what her nation did to her.
This girl has suffered at the hands of jealous people who falsly accused her of doping..

This is precisely why I don't like sports where children 15, 16 or 17 years old are crowned the greatest in the world. How the hell can a 15, 16 or 17 year old claim to be the greatest athlete in ANY sport and then by the time they are 21 they are considered to old?

Never forget the shame of IOC
CAS had a chance to do what was necessary to protect her from her entourage and perhaps from herself, but they blew it. CAS spoke of irreparable harm in the other scenario where she would have been denied the right to compete. But what about irreparable harm caused by that decision to let her go forward now? You got smacked! Everyone lost!
Shows how much CAS cared about the physical and mental health of a child. Every adult that led to this moment, needs to be held accountable. They destroyed this girl’s life, for their perverse amusement.
@@ChienaAvtzon The CAS decision gave Kamila a chance to skate. Unlike the media and social media slicing and dicing of the kid their decision at least considered that there could very well be a problem with with the Dec 25 test. The delay is suspicious to me. If anyone followed the Sharapova case (and one of the CAS judges was also involved in Maria's appeal) the final verdict very much sided with the athlete not WADA.
@@4hopper4 - Christmas in Russia is on January 6th.
We know nothing. For all we know this could have been a set up to bring down the world's best female figure skater. The timing of everything is extremely concerning.

Nobody knows the truth, certainly not the media who have destroyed this poor girl. That's the only thing we know for a fact.
Thank you thank you for saying it as it is. The lady interviewed is acting as if she wasn't part of the wolves that hounded Kamila down
This kind of scrutiny comes with the privilege of competing in the Olympics, what did she expect? Maybe she should not have been there. Maybe she wasn't ready, mature enough, resilient enough, experienced enough with both victory and defeat - and politics.
Wait, so you think its better to just let the coaches continue giving her drugs? What exactly is your problem? She was being drugged, the Russians did nothing to stop it, and your issue is that reporters exposed that fact? The Russian Olympic committee has been doing this for years with their athletes. None of this is surprising. None of this is new. They dope their athletes, hide the test results, fake test results, lie about test results, avoid testing whenever they can, let their athletes compete even after getting positive drug tests, unlike EVERY other nation. The JOB of the media is to expose this kind of thing.
You are a stupid person. Shut up.
@@isitrachelorj3953 I don't think it has much to do with choices made by the 15-year-old who has been groomed and controlled since she was a toddler. Not really much she can be expected to do about it.
@@aaronking5076 nobody here is innocent, including her. She never should have been there competing. She should have been winning "junior worlds", getting prepared for the next Olympics.
My opinion only but I watched her skate on Monday and she was amazing. All the talk about her winning the gold seemed like she was going to get it. But then the "no medals" would be presented if she won or placed in any of the 3 medals and instead would be given an asterisk next to the name until the IOC could complete its investigation. It seemed to me she was told to take a fall for the sake of the other 2 Russian skaters.
I feel so bad for the other skaters. This totally overshadowed their moment. It’s not all about Kamila.
It is because she is the best and even Scherbakova knows it
They overshadowed because their skills are not so good as Kamila's or even though as Anna'a or Alexandra''s...
Not to be cynical but it seems a bit suspect that this skater has had nearly flawless performances going into the Olympics. After the doping issue the Olympic committee decided that she could skate but there would be no medal ceremony if she placed in the top 3. So suddenly she has a very bad performance on the free skate leaving 2 of her teammates in 1st and 2nd. So now they have the medal ceremony and the Russians walk away with the Gold and Silver. I would not be surprised if the Russian coach had something to do with 'encouraging' her performance so that there would be a medal ceremony and the Russians would not go home empty handed.
she skated almost perfectly during the team even at Olympics so she clearly wasn't on doping during other competitions.
Add to this, this outcome being an attempt to fan the flames of the whole situation in front of The rest of the world.
This just makes me double down on why she shouldn't have been able to compete. Not only because of the test but it's down right abuse. Her so called coaches are DESPICABLE.
Kudos to this girl, she supported the battle and did not surrender.
She fell on purpose to avoid the controversy that will be oncoming in the next couple of days. Gotta love the double standard in allowing Kamila to even compete right after the positive drug test. No mercy was shown to a then 15 year old Andrea Raducan in 2000 when she was stripped of her individual gold medal for testing positive for Sudafed.
Got a call from Putin for sure...
💯
Thanks for bringing this. My thoughts exactly. I haven't watched her latest program. I knew she would not be able to perform under the strain she has been put under. She's only 15 yrs. old. Please stop putting so much stress on her. I am more worried about her wellbeing. Whatever drugs were in her system were most likely given to her by someone. You should be blaming her coaching staff. Also who was supposed to be checking the drug testing ahead of time? How was it she passed when they didn't even have a drug test to confirm? I see others here more to blame for what happened. I feel so badly for what she is going through. The greatest skater ever and she is being mentally and possibly physically destroyed. My heart goes out to her.
@Annie497 - Kamila Valieva should not be sent back to Russia. She is a child who has been abused and exploited by every adult in her life. Russia, Eteri Tutberidze, and even her own parents sacrificed her in front of the entire world. The IOC and CAS should have protected her, but turned a blind eye to blatant child abuse. It is obvious Kamila Valieva’s free skate was the cry for help of an abused teenage girl, who just learned how disposable her talents were to Russia.
Few who are even remotely knowledgable blame her @Maybe1000. The blame is 100% on her coaching staff... it's all on Tutberidze and the little girl skating stable she's developed.
@@TheNewGreenIsBlue - The problem is that NBC, specifically Johnny and Tara, considered Kamila Valieva to be a cheater. Instead of putting the blame solely on the adults who should have been taking care of her. Johnny Weir, in particular, is a sycophant of Eteri Tutberidze.
@@ChienaAvtzon Well, like most things... the truth is somewhere in between.
We really don't know if Kamila accepted it (maybe being told that it was the only way to win and that it would be untraceable)
MUCH of the blame (at least legally) falls on the adults, particularly her parents who ultimately are the ones responsible for her well-being and put her in the situation in the first place.
The question is... what would YOU do to fix the problem in THIS case? Sure Tutberidze treats skaters as disposable and that's despicable and she got got with her pants down, so to speak, in this case...
@@TheNewGreenIsBlue - What would I do to prevent this from happening to another innocent girl? I would ban Eteri Tutberidze from coaching and entering skaters in international competitions. Plus, the minimum age limit for Senior level must be raised to 17. While 18, and a year of international competition, is the minimum for figure skating at the Olympics.
Where was the sympathy for Sha’Carri Richardson
Nonexistent then and now.
She just as the rest of us reacted to a IOC who had problems with sticking to their principles. They know that Russia has a bad history when it comes to the question about drugs, so they should've banned her from the competition.
It's sad to see such a promising athlete being humiliated in such a way. Sadly its all thanks to the Russian leaders having problems with playing fair...
Precisely. Double standards are very clear
Well, there's nothing quite like tuning into the Olymics and witnessing a 15-year-old girl being broken on center stage. And then she is chided by a droid with blond hair. Meanwhile on the sidelines the silver medalist has a tantrum, and the gold medalist sits alone, clutching a Teddybear. No, you have not just viewed another episode of the Twilight Zone. This really happened. In Kamilas case it is not hyperbole to call it child abuse. She was consigned to a no-win situation. A pressure cooker that few adults could handle. Disgraceful
Grateful to Christine for finally presenting an *empathic* perspective on Kamila’s situation. The girl doesn’t deserve this, and it’s a relief that her coach is now under investigation. This really is child abuse. The other girls who won deserve better, too. I can only imagine this victory feels so hollow now, though they skated their hearts out, as did Valieva.
Thanks to all of you media reporters for making it happen. Talking non stop how Kamila should be off the games, calling her cheater....
Shame on you, hope you satisfied.
Media? LOL...Rissians get more pathetic everyday.
The heartbreaking thing is that she was allowed to compete. We stopped watching this year when we heard about the ruling. It is clearly more about the money than it is about the fair competition at this point. Disgusting.
1) that the probe was NOT from olympics but from 6 of months ago; probe from olympics was ok 2) that they didn’t gave her free pass, just delayed hearings, she still can be stripped from her medals and banned if found guilty later on 3) that there were plenty of other athletes in the similar situation, cleared from doping allegations despite having banned substances in their bloodstream, for example Laurence Vincent Lapointe
In 2019, Laurence Vincent Lapointe tested positive for traces of ligandrol. The top athlete denied knowingly taking a forbidden substance that resulted in her suspension from competition. In January 2020, the ICF accepted Lapointe’s evidence which supported that she was the victim of third-party contamination of bodily fluids from her former boyfriend, a former athlete who took the substance, and cleared her retroactively of all charges to return to training and competition.
I do agree it is heartbreaking that this happened to a 15 year old girl but I think a lot of people are not focusing on the most important thing. I think that people should be congratulating and focusing on the other clean skaters who are not getting to enjoy their olympic experience due to this incident. If you are going to let someone compete with a positive drug test just because she is young is unfair to other skaters. It is completely ignoring the 4 years of effort that other athletes put into this. Also if you are an athlete competing in the olympics rules are meant to be rules. If you are being scored the same as other athletes you should also be following the same rules. Valieva should not have been able to compete. Also all Russian skaters should be tested (the same as the Brazil women’s volleyball team getting tested in Tokyo because one of the athletes had a positive doping test) and the Russian coaches and adults who were in charge of this need to be punished, letting people know this is abuse and unacceptable in anyway.
Abuse was from IOC, ISU, WADA and American Olympic committee. They destroyed the mental health and psychological health of this young 15 yo sportswoman. And this is the truth right now. The investigation will answer us about guiltiness (or non guilty) of Kamila...
CNN is being CNN!
Shame on Russia, shame on the coaches?
Shame on YOU!
You forgot to mention that the doping test was done LAST YEAR but as soon as Russia won gold in the team even where Valieve participated, the results miraculously came in, 2 MONTHS LATER stating she was tested positive back last year.
If this doesn’t sound like a planned wicked game by someone who wanted to remove Valieva from the podium, I don’t know what does.
She’s an amazing skater and she will always be. She holds ALL world records and I truly hope to see her back in competitions soon again!
U r writing what I'm thinking, thx
The Russians themselves stated COVID delayed the tested. They also claimed they told the Swedish lab to expedite Valieva's sample, which the lab denied.
Rusada suspended her for a day, then lifted her suspension to allow her to compete. When she failed, her coach was aggressive and didn't comfort her. First-place Russian said she felt empty while second-place Russian had an emotional outburst. If anything, the Russian team seems dysfunctional and suspect.
So yes, shame on Russia, shame on the coaches.
@@blargvlarg1390 Her coach was not aggressive but asked her why she gave up on the performance (I understand Russian language fully)
For Trusova who took 2nd place, no one ever told her that if she’ll just 5 quads, she would get the gold medal.., that’s what she thought but not other.
Sherbakova did say she felt empty because she knew all the chaos going around with her teammates (Sasha & Kamila) so she couldn’t even be fully happy at that moment..
she couldn’t celebrate her gold medal knowing that if this whole scandal with Valieva wouldn’t happen, she wouldn’t most likely wind the gold.
Maybe it was on purpose so the other skaters could have their medal ceremony.
That’s probably it, she didn’t want to ruin it for her teammates.
@@s.z.6200 - The coach’s reaction says otherwise. Tutberidze yelled at and berated Valieva for being a failure.
I have the same feeling and that makes me even more sad!
I was thinking the same about a dive, but who called the dive is the question. It's starting to sound like the coaches were upset, so maybe she took the dive on her own to help her friends get their medal, go on stage, and allow for the controversy to begin to fade; which it wouldn't have as easily if Valieva got on the podium.
for sure
It takes so much courage to be in the Olympics and she’s still a child. I hope this doesn’t break her. The people who were supposed to be her support, were her downfall. It is not fair to her at all.
Valieva falls multiple times, and she still outscores the best American.....? wow, no wonder the US ganged up on her....
SHE IS THAT GOOD....!
So, the US does a Huawei on her.
I heard she outscored the best of the clean athletes as well.
she is just a treasure she is amazing like she is no more .i don't believe in her doping she is not a scammer you look at her other performances their dances on youtube from classes in the gym . She is the best of the best everywhere. she is unique. I have never watched the performances of figure skaters 100 times, I watch it and just forget to breathe. it seems to me that she was framed low and vilely by those people from countries whose clumsy skaters will never be able to fight her talent
Keep it up, Kamila.. still young and still more chance to win your gold… accident and mistake can happen anytime to anyone.. Much love from MICHIGAN, USA..

Kamila Valieva’s body has been destroyed by how her coach trained her. She will never be able to physically skate again.
@Annie497 - Do Yulia, Evgenia, and Alina come to mind? They are all crippled.
i dont know, maybe i watched a different run but i have never seen such an amazing young girl skating. yes lost fine but she was stunning.
It's the clean lines, the fluidity of her transitions, the way she uses her hands like she's conducting a symphony. Her positions. Even when she isn't landing her jumps, she's stunning. The things that make such a beautiful skater can't be manufactured by PEDs. That's the biggest tragedy for me.
She was 💔❤️🩹
Dear Kamila,
You are amazing! You are unbelievably talented, strong and beautiful. I hope you know that. Despite the doping scandal, the mistakes in your last performance and everything else that might be weighing on you I hope you know that I see you as a champion for being so strong amidst so many challenges. I don’t know all the details of the doping scandal but you don’t need drugs to be the best skater - you already are the best just by yourself. You don’t need critics or the world to tell you you’re the best skater - the world has already seen it. Keep moving forward. I can’t even imagine all the amazing things we will see from you. :)
Can we start a movement for positive feedback for Kamila? I can’t imagine the pressure she is feeling. Never let a problem to be solved be more important than a person to be loved.
#istandwithKamila
Yeah, I feel for her. All this isn't something a 15 years old girl, under tremendous pressure, should be going through. Shame on her coach for not providing her comfort after her final performance.
Thanks for support. 🙏
KAMILA WAS FRAMED/ USA desperately needed the scandal and it was the perfect moment for it
There should be a minimum age of 18 for the Olympics
What are the chances her coach told her to throw it so her 2 other teammates can medal, and they can actually receive it on the podium.
All her tests before and after are absolutely clean, including at the Olympics. It remains a mystery why the sample passed in December and which should come in a maximum of 20 days came only after the victory of the Russian team, and not before the Olympics, for example. The media did not have the right to disseminate this information before the investigation, since she is a minor. I admire the Western media that were not afraid to defend freedom of speech, consisting of adult men, like a pack of dogs, chasing a fifteen-year-old girl for an interview.
She threw it on purpose. The ceremony could now happen. Media has been vilifying her and now is showing sympathy. So phony.
On February 14, 2022, the CAS sports court rejected the appeals of the IOC, WADA and ISU and allowed Kamila Valieva to compete at the 2022 Olympics[22]. However, the investigation of this case is not completed and will continue after the Olympic Games.
The CAS Court, in its decision on the admission of Valieva, pointed to a violation of the WADA Code by the WADA laboratory regarding the 20-day deadline for submitting doping test results. In this regard, Valieva was deprived of the opportunity to prepare data in her defense. The Court also took into account the absence of a positive test sample during the Olympics itself and the fact that Valieva is a minor and therefore belongs to “protected persons”.
Wow. Will CNN cover this?
CNN always tries so hard to present Russia as a bad guy
"Protected persons" - from whom? From what? And how did they try and protect her? No one has said this was a false positive. It seems this very young person was not protected in any way by the CAS, RUSADA the Russian Federation or any of the adults around her. No one thought it might be in her best interest to protect her undeniable talent and save her for the next Olympic cycle (even if her predecessors from the same coach have never lasted for more than one Olympic cycle). Immensely sad. I hope the Russians will treat her kindly, and not as disposable and on to the next.
All of this is known. As is the fact that Russia did not mark that sample high priority, as they should have and would have gotten it processed more quickly.
@@Truffle_Young_Jr Yeah. They have.
This whole saga should have been kept out of the media until it was properly resolved, I hope you are all happy with the destruction of a young girl who has yet to be proven guilty of any wrong doing. She might never recover from this trauma.
This is what the media does !!
A sign of our Drama filled corrupt Times we live in!!!
Sure blame the media not the doper
She would have saved herself the embarrassment if she was not allowed to skate. If you are going to blame anyone, it should be her coaches and Russia.
@@caronadams4486 without all of the facts!!
Shame on Olympic commite and those who put her in this situation. Why you you blaming Russia and great coach Eteri Tutberidze instead of them 🤦♀️ Absolutely agree with Eteri Why they revial the test from December only now? It was their plan... I'm pretty sure she was framed. Her test on Olympics was OK but revial test from December, I'm pretty sure it's not true. And I hope we will know the truth. Stop blaming Kamila and her coaches as well. Of course whey think Eteri is bad because her skaters always will. Julia Lipnitskaya 2014, Alina Zagitova, Evgenia Medvedeva 2018, Anna Sherbakova, Alexandra Trusova, Kamila Valieva. 2022. Yep she's the best coach ever not only in Russian, in the World. Even in Russian don't like her for that, because of big rivalry inside the country. She's a great coach.
I’m glad she called out the child abuse aspect of this.
