Olympics face backlash after Russian figure skater fails drug test I ABCNL

1. Micheal Phelps. Was allowed to compete. Racism at its finest.

2. This bs about being under 16 and effectively having "Diplomatic Immunity" at the Olympics is a total joke.

   Otherwise, why don't we just pick all under 16's in our squads, load em full of as much dope as they can take while still standing and just say go out there and win.

   Then when their dope test comes back positive, oh well, you're under 16, you have Diplomatic Immunity, too bad so sad to all the other athletes playing fair and square….

3. Why is this a double standard?! Regardless of how people in different countries perceive Marijuana, It is still a banned substance for olympic athletes and frankly for athletes in lots of sports outside of the olympics. If you want to have a discussion about the merits of it being banned than so be it. BUT IT'S STILL BANNED. Phelps got a 3 month suspension for him admitting to using it after a photo surfaced. He never even tested positive for it. So Richardson got a 30% more lenient suspension than Phelps. It's the timing that sucks for Richardson. Phelps suspension happened 3 years from the next olympics and Richardson within 30 DAYS of the next olympics. That sucks but that's the type of comparison that should be had. Not between corrupt Russia, a minor (which is, yes BS on its face and should of course be changed), no admission of guilt and wildly different timing of the test result. The IOC had its hands tied with the whole being a MINOR card and the timing of when the results came You don't just rewrite the books overnight because you, (WADA, IOC) wrote them wrong to begin with. That's not how the works or should work. We don't want to devolve into a lesser condition because RUSSIA exists.

4. Every adult near her is responsible for this and not her. She's 15 and has never known any other life. She deserves love and respect and compassion coupled with the chance to learn and grow from this experience.

5. Oh m'GOD of course the race card!! That's it!! Never mind the Girl is a minor… That m'friend is the difference. The CHILD has been doped up…. Not the of age black American woman smoking pot… Adult ….. Child…. Nope no difference there! Do us a f'ing favor and put the race card away … Get over your self!!

6. the difference is that USA follows the rules but Russia doesn't! Has nothing to do with being black!!!

7. GULAG for you ! 100 grams of bread a day in the detention cell. Enemy of the state !

8. Sha’Carri doesn’t fit their narrative. Much like how there’s crickets from the NRA over the unlawfully MURDER of licensed gun owner Amir Locke.

9. That white girl is no different from any other white girl. They need enhancements to compete with black people or on any level period.

10. Easy solution: Black Olympians, stop performing for a country that doesn’t protect you.

11. Sha'Carri Richardson USED marijuana It was Not Prescribed she did not have a Serious Health Condition! Russian 15yr old Skater has a Heart Condition it is Not Sports Enhancing as it only Regulates her Circadian Heart Rhythms No Enhancement of Oxygen or Red Blood Cells FATCS! Typical Yanks Crying and Carrying On Without Scientific Knowledge on Substance Used and Abused and Why she was Not Suspended from the Olympic Games! Typical American Not African! Blacks Playing the RACIST CARD!!! Whenever you don't get things your Way, Play the Race Card or Identity Card Unbelievable, Sha'Carri Richardson Using the Race Card Should Be Ridiculed for that Statement!!!

12. You Have No IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT! The USA Sprinter Used Marijuana Which although Not Sports Enhancing has Scientifically Proven Effects on Recovery, Sleep, Anxiety, Stress, Cortisol & Also affecting Hormonal and GH Release via Not only THC but More Importantly CBD! Get your FACTS Right! The Russian Skater Used a Drug Specifically to Treat Angina, The Skater from Russia has a Heart Condition NOT like Dumb Decision Making Sprinter Smoking BUDS in her Down Time Because she was depressed family member lost or Not it doesn't matter !!!! Or using Anabolic or other Clear Performance Enhancing PED's. Trimetazidine was Tested in her Blood Samples that it only regulated her circadian rhythm, With No Enhancement of Blood Oxygen Levels in Fact only Normalising her Heart Condition enabling her to Compete without a Disadvantage due to a Serious Heart Condition Medical Diagnoses, Only Trace Elements were found in her Blood, Therefore No Advantage was obtain from taking this Drug – "Trimetazidine" and in Fact is Only Banned in Competitive Sport in the USA. Compared to Sha'Carri Richardson who Decided to smoke some Buds and get a Clear Advantage for Muscle Recovery, Reduced Inflammation & Pain Relief, Reduced Cortisol, Anxiety & Increased Sleep aiding in Recovery FACTS!!!!

13. Ingesting PEDs is "cheating." Clearly Russians play by their own rules and the IOC is getting bullied. Maybe we need another regulating sports body other that the IOC.

14. Sha'Carri earned her gold in the victim Olympics.

15. The hypocrisy here is beyond a joke.Can we have a deep dive in every countries Olympic records because no one is clean.

16. True.

17. WHITE MAYO PRIVILEGE STRIKE AGAIN WOW THAT WHAT THEY DO CHEAT TOO WIN TO LAZY TO PUT THE WORK IN 👊🤔

18. Time to give Russia an Olympic pause for next summer and winter games.

19. The Olympics have lost all legitimacy..I'll not watch it for not only this but it taking place while a genocide is being committed in this axis of evil on earth.. prison camp of 2 billion slaves. Totally disgusting.
    Communist Broadcast systems is a complicit tool of the corporate oligarchs new world order.. you should be expunged from god's planet!
