Knowing Putin…. Her detention probably a lie.

Boo hoo who cares
Don't do the Crime if you can't do the time!!
It's Her own fault!! To Bad!! She had DOPE!!

it's extremely easy not to bring drugs anywhere.
Dopehead, don't care
An athlete using drugs?!?!? Nooooo, that cant be…..
Russia produces oil 🛢
They better be quick because she is not safe there at all other prisoners don’t like Americans
You people in the comments are disgusting! Let’s see you in here shoes and I’d bet you beg for sympathy.. Everyone that keeps stating this negative rhetoric should be as shamed!
Their killing her but it’s her fault
Nobody watches WNBA. My company can’t even give away tickets. Irrespective of that this person carried drugs.
Brah, we aint finna see her for 10 years.
Watch this video and you wont be surprised why she does/says idiotic things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJpCIfigQ00
It doesn't look like intent to sell. That will help.
And she will remain for a long time ⌛️.
She ain't no spy exchange material 😏
Wait a minute, the wnba has stars?
Even when she gets back, her kids have needed extensive medical treatment and her ex is going hard after her for that. She, no matter how you feel about her, is a woman in deep trouble, even if she s released. I m a vet, I do nt care for her positions much either, but, man.
