> Valieva, who has dominated her sport during this Olympic
season, took off awkwardly 25 seconds into her performance on
her opening jump, her triple axel. She clumsily stepped out of
it, but didn’t fall.
> ...
> But for all this drama, when Valieva’s score popped up, it was
good enough to take the lead, then maintain it as the final four
skaters could not reach her lyrical heights. It’s not a large
lead, 82.16 points to 80.20 for her training partner Anna
Shcherbakova, but she’s in first place.
>
> That result was, well, awful. The young woman – girl, actually
– who should not be in the competition is leading the
competition.
>
> This was all wrong. Valieva was cheered by the sparse crowd
when she was introduced, cheered when she took the ice, cheered
when she finished. A small but boisterous Russian delegation
contributed mightily to that cause, but still – a young woman
who doped was welcomed as if she was any other competitor.

Olympic movement in general, grows darker.

threw up not one, but two middle fingers to celebrate the win.

United. “I have the first medal, the first Olympics. I didn’t
mean anything like that. I’m sorry if this offended anyone.”

with no intention to offend anyone, but I guess we have to take
the Russian’s word for it.

truthful when it comes to sports, especially at the Olympics.

But Valieva and her teammates can keep their gold medals.
This is the UK team:

> The IOC, the International Testing Agency, the World
Anti-Doping Agency, the Court of Arbitration for Sport – it’s an
impressive sounding collection of organizations meant to suggest
transparency and accountability. In reality it’s an alphabet
soup of incestuousness, designed with the sole purpose of
providing cover for one another.

> In Valieva’s case, it has worked to diabolic perfection.

RUSADA. And CAS. CAS blames WADA. The IOC, and Bach, blame CAS.
All they have to do is continue pointing the finger at each
other for another three days and they’ll have successfully
kicked the can so far down the road that it’s no longer in sight
and everyone will forget about it.

> “We went to court. We did not want (her) to participate and we
lost the court case,” Bach said, giving the verbal equivalent of
a shrug. “We have to respect the rule of law because if we are
not respecting it, if we are abandoning the rule of law, there
is no international sports anymore. So we had to accept this.”
> ...
> “It is surprising and of serious concern to WADA that a CAS
panel would see fit to depart from the clear terms of the
(Anti-Doping) Code, which was subject to three consultation
phases involving all anti-doping stakeholders, including
athletes, over a period of two years before being unanimously
adopted in November 2019,” WADA huffed in a response Friday to
the release of the full CAS decision, which allowed Valieva to
compete in Beijing despite a positive drug test Dec. 25.
>
> “This sets a dangerous precedent, which WADA hopes and expects
will be corrected by future CAS Panels.”

> Yeah? And just who will make that happen? The system was
constructed to give everyone plausible deniability, and the IOC
has stacked the various “independent organizations” with its own
people to ensure no one gets out of line.

> The current president of CAS is John Coates, the longtime
Australian IOC member who is currently serving his second term
as vice president and who, oh by the way, just happens to chair
the IOC’s Legal Affairs Commission.

> That’s right. If an athlete breaks an IOC rule, it’s Legal
Affairs that hands down the punishment – which the athlete would
then appeal to CAS.

devising the new process for selecting host cities, first used
to choose the host for the 2032 Games. Which went to Brisbane …
