How did she even deserve fourth place? She should have been suspended and sent home. Woman’s figure skating is so rigged and the Russians seem to be able to do anything they want and get away with it……even a failed drug test isn’t enough to disqualify a Russian from the Olympics . I’m done watching these rigged events. That girl should never been permitted to skate the long program. She’s a cheater…..and so is her coach.
AMERICA – IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT ABC NEWS, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC AMONG OTHER FAKE NEWS MEDIA ARE BRINGING YOU THIS AND ARE NOT REPORTING TO YOU ANYTHING ON THE BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL SINCE WATERGATE IN 1971. HILLARY CLINTON OFFICIALLY PAID A COMPANY TO GO INTO THE SERVERS OF DONALD TRUMP AT TRUMP TOWER AND AT THE WHITE HOUSE IN ORDER TO SPY ON TRUMP AND CREATE CONVERSATIONS TO LINK HIM WITH RUSSIA SO THEY CAN TAKE HIM OUT. THIS SILENCE BY ALL THESE STATIONS ONLY MEAN THAT ALL THE ATTACKS TO DONALD TRUMP 24/7 AND FOR 4 YEARS WERE ALL A LIE AND A WAY FOR THEM TO PROTECT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO GAVE MILLIONS TO THEM. IT ALSO MEANS THAT THEY GOT CAUGHT AND THAT WITH ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL START HAPPENING, THEY WILL BE FOUND GUILTY FOR CONSPIRING WITH THE DEMOCRATS WHO PLANNED ALL THESE LIES. TONS OF PEOPLE WILL GO TO JAIL FOR THIS. THESE STATIONS SOLD YOU AND ME AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MONEY AND THEY WON'T HESSITATE TO CONTINUE HIDING THESE NEWS FROM YOU IN ORDER TO PROTECT THOSE WHO PAID THEM. THIS IS WHY THESE STATIONS CANNOT BE TRUSTED AND YOU MUST DO YOUR DUE DILLIGENCE TO FIND OTHER WAYS OF INFORMATION. THESE STATIONS ARE A DISGRACE TO AMERICA AND RATHER THAN PROTECTING US ALL, THEY WILL SELL THEMSELVES TO ANYONE WHO COMES WITH BUNCHES OF MONEY, INCLUDING CORRUPTED POLITICIANS, PHARMACEUTICALS, INSURANCE COMPANIES OR EVEN CRIMINALS OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT BLM THAT ARE INTO DESTROYING AMERICA. THESE MORONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE GREAT DIVISION THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY AND BELIEVE ME THAT WILL BRING TO US 3RD WORLD WAR IF WE DON'T FIND A WAY TO REGULATE THEM SOMEHOW. SEE THE NEWS HERE SINCE THIS STATION WILL NEVER SHOW IT TO YOU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a7mGxmK5RE&t=5s
Some people don't talk nonsense, obviously all her samples during the Winter Olympics are negative.🙃
The Russians' cheating strategy backfired on them LOL
poor girl… she is too young for this …
The title should not be really "RUSSIAN" but generally, Figure Skater etc. This is just continuous push to make RUSSIA always the worst country in the world. Lance Armstrong destroyed whole generation of cyclist. Did you forgot about Marion Jones? Tyson Gay? And whole NFL is not even part of WADA, why? Doping is matter of person not coutry.
The CAS and RUSADA are the ones who did this to her not to mention her coaches
The thing is, Kamila’s fall was faked. It was all planned, as well as Tuberitze’s fake anger towards her.
There is no way that a talented skater like Kamila, who has been performing perfectly all season, had that many falls, under whatever circumstances. She was sacrificed so that Russia can get a gold medal on spot, whatever the ramification of the doping scandal will become.
Sasha’s outbreak and crying at Tuberitze “you knew it all†tells it. If you don’t like your score, you argue with the judge, not your coach. She was mad at Tuberitze for planning this behind her back and she was basically “arranged†a silver medal.
Also it is observed that in the free program Valieva didn’t jump high enough for her quads, as if she feared that it could be too good.
I'm sorry a fragile 15 YO should have to endure this pressure, but cheating is cheating. I am astounded that nobody talks about the adults who fed her the banned substances. She didn't decide on this regimen for herself, and the 'accidental' story about her grandfather's meds is ridiculously bogus – that is, unless he is actually the one responsible. In any case, she should never been allowed to compete. Too bad she would pay the biggest price, but the people behind her must not be allowed success based on some misguided media and judicial sympathy for this girl.
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.

Is media bullying justified because it's gets more ratings? Media is biggest world bully. She is only 15 years old and her coaches are most likely to blame. Why pick on her?
Who handed this 15 yo drugs, let's point them out!!
I’m sorry for everyone who disagrees with me but this is just my perspective on this whole thing..
They should disqualify russians from competing ever… it’s not fair. they failed the doping test multiple times… before watching her final game today, I was thinking… she might try to score in the 4th place to let the other two russian figure skaters who were alredy in the first and second place, let them have their medal ceremony. If she scored first, they wouldnt have their ceremony so maybe she tried that. I mean I don’t even know what to believe with them anymore. When I was watching the other russian skaters today, the first thing that came into my mind was.. they are all drugged… they all passed and valieva didn’t… this is obnoxious and is child abuse. The coaches have not done their job. They are pressuring these young children. It’s getting painful to watch Russian skaters on ice tainting winter sports. I just don’t understand how they thought they could get away with taking drugs… she will now forever have the title “Russian doping scandal figure skater†tailing after her name for the rest of her life. Something needs to be done.
Why couldn't Tara and her goons just let the kid skate. The decision was made to let her skate and all I can hear on NBC is Tara just blah blah blah blah She's just a 15 year old kid. Personally I think she should never have been allowed but there was some unusual circumstances and the powers that be gave her the green light. So share your opinion then move on. Like a dog with a bone. Why do individuals always hate it when someone is successful. Pretty sad
why the hell isnt anyone showing her last two skates?? christ, were not allowed to see them? you all can talk, smile or frown, share your opinions, but you cant play the skate for us? jeeze
And why wasn’t shacarri Richardson able to compete as well?
Walking out before Kamila Valieva, a 15-year-old, is about to perform? So Team USA just presumes guilt and treats the teenager like that? Hmmm. Very American to show arrogance and aggression over reason and sympathy
Russian players are victims? Do you think only Valieva among Russian players was doped? The Russian state and coaches must have been systematically doping young Russian players for a long time. Suppose Trusova or Valieva wins gold and Valieva passes the doping test. Russian players must have enjoyed all kinds of wealth and popularity behind lies. Are they victims? Other athletes who have been practicing since childhood, enduring hard training without doping, are the real victims.
The players who should really cry are all the other players who have worked hard since childhood without doping even though the practice process was difficult and painful. They are the real victims. Shame on you, Russia!
IOC is so corrupt as Trump organization.
She should of quit due to mental health and twisties……the USA 🇺🇸 would've praise her for quitting. That was the culture during the Tokyo Olympics.
The result shows without the enhancement of the drug, she couldn't nail her quads and didn't have the stamina. The true comes out, before and after.
no forgiveness for cheaters
such a young flower and already a dope, what can be said here? Just russia been russia, lol)))
BS
She fell that was bad but Russia shouldnt invade Ukraine so I guess it's even
Why are they choosing to dope? They know they will be tested and we want all competitors to be clean.
little Natasha's got just what she deserves
USA land of hypocrisy
it was a great acting by valieva. so now russia can have a medal ceremony. well done. It was all planned by russia
I guess the drugs wore off…?
I don’t feel bad for her at all, I could care less how old she is. You live, you learn
Why is it a big deal if there was still a medal ceremony? She didn’t win a medal, so why delay it?
Kamila Valieva will get recycled by the Communist Regime as a Red Sparrow!
She should move to the US, surround herself with a great team, and compete again clean. She's a beautiful and astounding talent, and is clearly embedded with cheaters. It's not like she knocked over a pharmacy-someone gave her the drugs.
Russia still got the gold. Norway still remains top of the leader board.
Sha’Carri Richardson should be used to double standards for blacks; she lives in America.
Pink American Lance Armstrong remains the world's biggest doper over multiple years.

This whole situation took a toll on her
She’s not a young woman!!! She’s a 15 year old child/girl/ teenager!!!!
Well that's china for you. What do y'all expect ?
at least the clean skaters got their moment…
White privilege WINS again!
Kind of reminds me of when the Russians ruled hockey then the USA WonðŸ¤â€â€
