Wave after wave, wave after wave!
On the evening of February 17, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating women's free skating competition came to an end, and Vallieva, a 15-year-old Russian genius girl who ranked first after the short program, made serious mistakes in free skating, failed multiple actions, and fell on the ice again and again.
In the end, Vallieva only finished fourth, and K Bao, who won all season, fell in the most important competition of the Winter Olympics.
When the music was over, K Po already knew her ending, and she couldn't stop the gushing tears anymore. While waiting for the score, K Bao's emotions have been somewhat out of control, and her tears have made many netizens feel uncomfortable.
If it hadn't been for the doping storm a week ago, perhaps Valieva would not have been under such pressure, and perhaps, if it had never happened, Valieva would have been smiling and standing on the highest podium.
But, that's just ifs.
The day after the figure skating team final, Valieva was banned by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency for testing positive for doping, and 24 hours later, Valieva was temporarily released.
The International Olympic Committee, the World Anti-Doping Organization and the International Skating Federation all appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, and after a seven-hour hearing, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the appeal, and Valieva was able to continue to participate.
Vallieva's doping sample was produced on December 25 last year. At the hearing, Vallieva said it was an oolong incident because she shared the same cup with her grandfather, which caused the sample to test positive.
The substance detected in Vallieva's urine sample is trimetazide, a drug used to treat angina pectoris that has long been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Vallieva said that her grandfather suffered from heart disease and had been taking trimethazine, and she used her grandfather's cup to cause a residue of trimetazide in her body.
However, Travis Tegert, president of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), said that Vallieva was completely lying, and Teget revealed that Vallieva was deliberately using banned drugs, which is the complete opposite of her statement!
Tegert said trimetazim boosts athletes' motivation when their fitness declines, and Vallieva's urine also detects L-carnitine and Hypoxen. While Hypoxen has a clear effect on improving athletic performance, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has promoted the drug's inclusion in the drug banned since 2017.
"The concentration of trimetazil detected in Vallieva's sample was 200 times higher than that of other athletes who were found to be positive for samples," Tegett said. It is impossible to achieve this level by mistake for a while, and only regular use of trimetazide can reach this level! ”
Considering that Vallieva was only 15 years old, Tegett speculated that Vallieva did not take the drug voluntarily, and it is likely that someone forced or instigated Vallieva to take the illegal drug.
Previously, both the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee made it clear that the doping investigation into Vallieva was not over and that it was expected to take at least a year for the case to be completed!
