How come there’s NO video footage of her routine anywhere on YouTube ??
I feel so sorry for the horrible pressure the athletes are suffering.
Who would dope if they did not have abusers trying to win through them?
The 4 important things we should pay attention in this Camila case are as follows.
1. In this season, during 4 months from the 2nd Grand Prix Skate Canada (Oct.29.2021) to Olympic,
Camila's doping test results were all clean at 4 international competitions.
2. Only one doping test result for Russian national competition was more than 200 times polluted.
3. Why RUSADA requested doping test for domestic competition to Sweden and
what was the reason such long time (6 weeks) needed for test & result publication?
4, Under the above situation, was IOC's action against Camila appropriate?
Regarding 1 and 2,
Camila was on the way of breaking new records during that period,
so if she intentionally used drug to improve her performance, it was impossible unless she continuously used it,
Therefore it is medically impossible to explain.
And she has been negative at both the Euro Champ and the Olympics after Dec. 25, but she made an Olympic records again at team tournament.
For 3, there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that the Swedish lab made a technical error,
and the other is that RUSADA got involved in a Russian internal dark fight and deliberately tried to swap samples to kill Camila and Etheri.
It is up to you to decide which possibility is higher.
What I'm going to focus on is about 4.
Under situation of lack of convincing evidence and Camila's unacceptance of intentional doping, the IOC sued to CAS to disqualify her.
However, the CAS dismissed the IOC's indict on the grounds that Camila was a child under the age of 16 and the principle of presumption of innocence,
allowed her to compete in the individual competitions. This means not just let her go out on the ice, but let her normally can compete.
So IOC should have announced that IOC would normally award medals for the results of the competition,
but medal and record could be deprived if Camila's intentional doping definitely found out.
However, IOC put tons of pressure on Camila with a shocking decision that "If Camilla is in the top three, the awards ceremony will be cancelled.",
Eventually, this IOC's brutal threat forced her to step down herself from the podium.
Furthermore this made it impossible to watch Camila's performance in full of heavenly and mysterious beauty,
which all figure skating fans around the world wanted to see.
And it could have been the greatest performance of her life. (I pray fervently to God that it won't be!)
Camila is not only treasure of Russia but joy of all Figure skating fans around world who pursue perfect beauty!
The IOC should kneel down and beg for forgiveness to her and to all figure skating fans around the world and take all responsibility!
She needs to be unqualified. She clearly cheated and there's no excuses.
She couldn’t take her injection lol
Dang ABC could you have made the audio any quieter
Her sample was sent to WADA LAST DEC. The outcome should be available in two weeks but WADA said her sample was positive THIS FEB until the next day Russian team won the team gold in figure skating (USA team was the second). Then after the discussion, IOC said no medals and no ceremony if Kamila was in top 3. So she had to fail to let her team members get ceremony and medals. Ugly politics ruined this 15 years old girl
that was the end of all their career.
Shcherbakova will retire, Trusova will quit, Valieva will be kicked out of the national team.
Where is the proof?! Who said she's doping? ! A dubious laboratory that has already been suspended once from conducting research?! How did this information go beyond confidentiality without an investigation?! It is a crime! The Olympic Committee and Wada are corrupt criminals! All samples of Valieva are clean. She demanded that the test tube be opened. It hasn't been opened yet. The media brainwashed you and everyone pounced like vultures. Do you know why? Because there is so much envy and aggression in people! You don't see pure talent, then you are blind! You killed her! All American and Canadian media deliberately fanned the scandal. Rejoice, you robbed yourself. Shame on everyone who killed and finished off this young talented athlete!
Loads of commentators blabbing about Kamila Valieva falling during performance after a conviction of “doping”. Suspiciously it seems that the entire Internet has been scrubbed of all video showing the actual performance wherein she fell. After watching this girls celestial grace on the ice, I suspect that the fall may have been staged. I challenge anyone who reads this comment to try to find video of the actual performance that I am suspicious of. Not that it will/would ever be reconciled but in respect of this girls exquisite talent. If in fact this tragedy is a result of contrived injustice, then It should be recognized by those who appreciate her.
Și care îți va lua banii și ramii cu colaborarea,restul doar minciuni și blablabla
She meant to fall as she knew there would of been test done for steroids had she won a medal
Whatever you say – Valieva is a star, all three Russian girls far the best and they all part of Tutberidze team – team of very decent, intelligent, talented people. So called doping scandal is Western Smear Campaign against Russia and they show how dirty they are – they even happy to use children for their dirty games.
Doping? Give me a break!!! Does this 15 yr old girl look like she takes drugs?? She is a prodigy, a genius..she has pure talent!!
I am in russia now. This poor girl, Kamila, endured HELL. Dec 15th she had her test for doping. And a MONTH later, 2 days before her Olympic skate, they announce she "has something in her blood" similar to doping. At 15, she is bullied, harrassed and forced to watch the 7 hour court trial online. She hasnt slept, she was stressed…how do you think a 15 yr old would perform under such harsh attack? This is POLITICs, dirty politics and jealous people who PLANNED her to lose. She was stripped of her chance to perform for a medal.
I feel terrible for this girl. It pisses me off that the commentators (Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir specifically) are acting as judge, jury and executioners, claiming she "should not have been allowed to skate" even though she was cleared to skate BEFORE the Olympics started. They should just comment on the skating, period. They have only contributed to the demonizing of this girl in real time which has probably destroyed not only her career, but likely her future, at age 15! Shame on them and everyone else piling on the bandwagon. She's clearly head and shoulders above the competition. That's not because of any heart medication. It's because of the rigorous training, period. I get the "doping" thing, but first let's be clear that heart medication is not the same as steroids. This isn't the Lance Armstrong story. It's not changing your body mass or fitness level any more than caffeine or pseudoephederine in cold medicine changes you (remember when the 16 year old Romanian was stripped of her gold medal because her doctor had given her a cold medicine that contained pseudoephedrine? Cold medicine her doctor gave her to treat her cold! I believe Valieva was tested at least twice DURING the Olympics and this medication was not found in her system, so she was not receiving any benefit during her earlier performances at the games. If the Olympic Committee was okay with letting her compete prior to the Olympics starting then it should have been a non-issue now! Yes, I know the Russians are notorious for their doping (they're certainly not alone), but this is complete BS! I'm not even an ice skating fan, but when I watched Valieva skate during the team competition I was blown away. It was truly breathtaking. I think her unrecognizable performance last night was part stress-related and part direction from the powers that be to NOT achieve a podium spot. Either way it's just a terrible situation. I only hope that she hasn't been ruined by the experience. The girl had hardly reached her peak and I can only imagine how amazing she would become.
The adults who coach her and provide her support failed her. Unfortunately she is in the forefront and has to shoulder all of this. The kid is 15 years old so I doubt very much she was made aware about what was going on. If they decide to ban or suspend someone it should be the coach and or support staff that were part of this not her. I would like her to sit back from this for a bit and get new coaching maybe even come to the US or any country and become a citizen and skate for them the RIGHT way!
why does not a single story show the actual video? where is the clip?
Thomas Bach's remarks are the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
In this season, Kamila's doping test results were clean at four international competitions,
but only the test for the Russian national competition showed polluted result.
Therefore, this case required a thorough investigation and verification, but there was not enough time.
As CAS rejected IOC's indictment to ban Kamila's participation in individual competition,
the IOC should have announced that IOC would normally award medals for the results of the game,
but that medal and record could be deprived if Kamila did intentional doping.
The IOC's shocking announcement "If Kamila stands on podium, medal award ceremony would be canceled" must have acted as tons of pressure on Kamila,
And this IOC's Threat made her step down from the podium by herself.
As a result, the IOC brutally threatened a young girl under the age of 16 to take the bronze medal from Russia and give it to Japan.
Furthermore this ultimately made it impossible to watch Kamila's performance in full of heavenly and mysterious beauty, which all figure fans around the world wanted to see.
The IOC should take the greatest responsibility for this!
Lololol
I was rooting for her to medal so that she could make the Olympic committee look like an even bigger joke. Also, her doping results took 6 weeks to find out. 6 weeks! It should take a DAY. THAT should be investigated.
All athletes must have been shocked by this day. I've been preparing for 4 years, but some people take drugs and jump so easily, I can't help but be shocked.
criminals. if there is any sort of justice under the sky, those bloody fuckers who started bulling her will burn hell for what they have done towards the fragile young lady. it's obvious the case is not about a dope, the story is about being jealous of a gifted person. fiends. The key issue is what we – the society – should do to stop ugly games of politicians. we make heros out of winners ONLY. We make them so vulnerable. if u are not a winner or one step behind a winner, you are just a looser. WE – the society – made Trusova cry out. We don't value all athletes. We check their final standing. We worship winners and send others to a dustbin. We – the society – are severe sick. We are to be BLAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That 15 year old should have been disqualified right away after she tested positive for the banned substances not allowed to perform.
Fell several times cuz she wasn’t taking that heart medicine 😂 😂
Shame on US media ! Are you after witch hunt? Read respected TV host Hoda kobt.
Even if Kamila didn’t fall she wouldn’t have gotten a medal because she is already guilty of doping. Teens are not excluded from this rule.
Sha'carri Richardson an African American athlete who is disqualified the last olympic game because of drug using claims that if Valieva's skin is black and she were amerian, she could be shot and killed by cops on the street.
Yeah it probably a double standards.
To all Kamila's haters:
1. Only traces of triametazidine were found and only in one test. All other are clean in all her performance's history. The one that positive showed a microdose. That is, it was an admixture to some kind of dietary supplement or food, and not regular use. Do you know that even amino acids mixes have traces of triametazidine?
2. Triametazidine is useless for athletes and could be even harmful, doctors say. Western experts generally believe that trimetazidine has zero effectiveness, acting as a doping, and can also cause harm. Popular Science, having made a review of scientific papers, directly concluded that there is no evidence that trimetatisine can be doping.
3. Heart expert Dr. Benjamin J. Levine, a professor of exercise science at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, said "The chance that trimetazidine would improve Valieva's performance, in my opinion, is zero".
4. The very inclusion in the WADA doping list does not mean that WADA has any scientific evidence that a particular substance is doping and in any way can improve the performance of an athlete. WADA proceeds from the "suspicion" that the substance could potentially be doping.
Tu es une vraie artiste, tu as vraiment quelque chose que tu dégages sur la glace. Ça va au delà des quadruple saut. Alors cette histoire est moche parce que les médias sont responsables de toute la pression que tu as dû avoir sur les épaules. Chapeau à toi d’avoir patiné jusqu’au bout! Ne t’arrête pas à cette histoire ! 💪💪💪😳
Western smear campaign against a child. This is child abuse. Westerners are barbarians.
should ban Russia from all sports competitions. they are discouraging sportsmanship. what a shame.
She has no choice regarding doping, in Russia you do as you're told. Now the pressure of being villanized and shamed by doping at 15, they've destroyed her.
Justice is served.
THE CORRUPTION OF A MINOR!
If you are positive no Olympics for you , stick with the rules they themselves created .
Anyone who abused illegal drugs must be banned in competing Olympics. You mistakenly ate your grandfather's medicune? People have brain. I feel so bad for skaters who were injured trying to do quadruple jump while the Russians were doped.
Why can’t any of these videos show the actual parts where she fell instead of screenshots!?
Maybe its for the best that Camila stumbled and did not win. But Russian skaters still won Gold and Silver.
If Camila win gold. Americans and American press will have a field day Criticizing and stalking her forever.
Maybe she was told to take a dive to stop all the non sense. Poor Camila only 15 years old and have to deal with this bs.
How many illiterate, superficial and not deeply thinking people are in the West, it amazes me. Do you believe your media, there is only one lie around. There could only be two versions with Camilla:
1. A laboratory error is accidental or special in order to extend sanctions against the Russian national team at the next Olympics. Sanctions against the Russian national team ended at this Olympics. I inform you that all the samples of Camilla over the past 2 years were all negative, except for the allegedly detected microdose for 1.5 months taken at the Russian Championship. Then there was the European Championship 0.5 months before the Olympics, where she brilliantly won and also with a negative breakdown. I also inform you that the sample for 0.5 months from the European Championship was presented earlier than for the sample made for 1.5 months and was presented right after the performance in team competitions, does it seem suspicious to you.
2. A microdose about alleged doping could accidentally get into Camilla's body, her grandfather uses such a drug for the heart and he lives with her in the same house. And also someone could have spied on food or drinks among the entourage of coaches, functionaries, other figure skaters, etc. After all, this drug, according to some scientists, cannot improve sports performance. All Russian athletes, coaches and functionaries around sports know perfectly well that Russia is under sanctions and their athletes are checked twice as much and more thoroughly than athletes from other countries. No normal and adequate athlete, coach or doctor of the Russian national team will not use doping under the fear that the Russian national team will be punished with sanctions for several more Olympics in the future. Personally, I am more inclined that this is a US special operation to discredit Russia. They forced the Swedish laboratory to give false test results for Camilla.
The little and innocent Valieva ending in the top 5 despite all the diabolic and assassin propaganda of mainstream media is a miracle.
It’s a shame today to see West forcing Russia to support their neo colonial and looting wars in many parts of this world.
Just because Russia is opposed to this evil agenda and opted for the self determination of every nation no matter its power or size, it’s diabolized by the West imperialism.
Despite these diabolization campaigns supported by sattelite nations and medias, Russia is improving greatly in all domains of développement including sports.
To mask and polluate Russians ‘ achievements the politics held as hostages all international sports ‘ institutions and forcing its administration to lay pressure and maximum stressful pressure on Russian athletes.
Valieva might be still young at this stage but she will have to learn that these proofless accusations are hybrid war technics against the sovereignty of their Motherland ; as a result, they all must learn to stand firm on the rock of victorious resistance

#EteriAlwaysBlamesTheChildren
You can tell she purposely threw this. She had to.
Honestly I don’t feel sorry for her but instead feel sorry for those athletes that were in first, second, and third place that couldn’t celebrate their achievement because of Kamila’s actions and I felt the pain when the three were crying in tears.
As an athlete, you are as good as you last play. Hopefully she will come back "clean' and skate as beautifully as she is capable.
Forget China, Russia is asshoe. They deserve each other.
Deliberately fell to zip the scandal 🙁
