  • I think until they’ve got a confirmed second positive result you really need to assume she’s clean. She’s a 15 year old girl, we’ve not had a second test to confirm the result.

    Let the events go-ahead as planned, if/when the tests come back positive then do something about it then. If it’s a false positive or something, you can’t retroactively allow her to compete. Obviously allowing a drug cheat to compete isn’t fair, but taking the opportunity for a clean athlete to compete is the worse option.

  • The only people who had all the information was the Governing Body. If they say it is OK for her to compete, who are we to object? Not like Russia is so loved that anyone would risk disgrace and a perma ban to cover for her.

  • As someone pretty uninformed here, I have a question and I don’t know if it’s a stupid one, but since the test happened two months ago, and if she’s not been taking the drug since, why is everyone acting like she is going to compete in the Olympics still on drugs? I mean if she’s not on drugs right now, why is everyone think it’s so unfair to be competing against her?

  • Only usa news showing it like controversy. In europe, news said that doping test was positive. But because of some heart disease drug she used. This drug give no benefit for an athlete but can show positive on doping results. Simple, informative and no controversy.

    But US news always have to try squeeze drama.
