Olympic Doping: Now Anything Goes

The Olympics have lost all integrity. With the current decisions to allow the Russian figure skater to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance has destroyed the believability of the outcomes of any Olympic competition.

I recognize that the skater herself probably had no active role in this. As a minor under the control of coaches and trainers she has little input into it. But the principle affects every other competitor at the Olympics and in international competition in general.

Actually, if you read her claim: She drank from a glass of water that her grandaddy had used to take his heart meds. But that's not the funny part. The funny part is the IOC let her skate after that whopper anyway.

They have become proficient at stalling the inevitable outcome by appealing and appealing.
Allowing continued participation during appeals is a core issue.
Well, you gotta hand it to the Ruskies for coming up with a foolproof plan

They dope up some talented but underage skater, the IOC catches her, but can’t say anything about it because of her age.

Kind of like a catch 22.
