Guys guys guys today we have breaking news maybe the end of a 2year saga maybe even three if you start counting them from the day that it occurred today we have an answer finally a solid clear answer well not as clear as we’d like but an answer from the court of
Arbitration for sport regarding Camila Vala’s doping case it looks like it is over and the result is a 4year ban yes a 4-year ban on the sport however it’s not as clear as you would think it’s not for your band starting now actually she’s probably already served the majority of
It but before we get into any more details let’s get a recap of where we left off by the way interlude I will be talking about the US Nationals I was midway watching them when this all occurred and therefore it’s going to be a little bit delayed because first we
Need to put an end to the story that I feel like I’ve been covering for forever we’ve been in limbo maybe even a layer of hell if you’re on my side but now we have an answer an answer which I don’t know how I feel about it because it
Feels like a slap on the wrist and I’ll explain more about that but let’s recap where we left off Camila valva was 15 years old at the time when she went to Beijing Olympics 2022 it came out that she had been positive for doping back in the Russian Nationals not at the
Olympics but before right before the Olympics and therefore she shouldn’t even have qualified or participated in such Olympic events until there was an investigation in this positive doping test however because the test was not marked as priority by her own team this sample was not provided priority testing
And then that’s when the whole mess occurred where we realized or the world doping Federation and the ioc and the ISU and everybody involved realized that she was positive for doping and so they had to stall Midway where we all found out right before the metal ceremony That
Never Was which was the team event at the Olympics where she participated and was a very big reason why the Russians had first which is why we have another limbo and hellscape that is the fact that the Team USA who ended up in second place and team Japan who ended up in
Third place to this day two years later still don’t have their Olympic medals because of this situation however now there’s been a decision maybe maybe not the ISU has yet to say anything they’re supposed to say something tomorrow they might be getting their medals whether they will be first second or third we
Don’t know maybe Canada will even be on the podium cuz they ended up fourth who knows however let’s read this very succinct article from CNN just to get the gist of it and then we can read the actual press release from the court of apption for
Sport also known as cast or C because I think it tells a little bit more of the story than the media is saying and then we can review recap but it’s just a lot to take in right now and let’s talk about my thoughts after so the long
Running doping Saga you’re telling me involving Russian figure skater Camila Vala reached a landmark moment on Monday today as the 17-year-old was handed a four year ban in a statement Switzerland’s Court of abstration for sports said that Cil valva had been found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation from her positive test ahead
Of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing finally a verdict and it is guilty the ban is backdated to December 25th 2021 which means she’s already served 3 years of the ban and how did she serve it by being literally a hero in Russia a patriotic symbol by probably reaching
The climax of celebrity during the Olympic times and has continued to maintain Fame that’s how she’s been serving this band which is now 3 years into it only one left which is when the sample was collected and the highly anticipated decision was welcomed by anti-doping bodies around the world the
Doping of children is unforgivable the world anti-doping agency W said in a statement doctors coaches and other supporting personnel which were not investigated in this tribunal situation who are found to have provided performance enhancing substances to minor should face the full force of the world anti-doping code ala was only 15
When she tested positive for tresine a heart medication we can boost endurance remember she not only had tresine she had three different hard medications in her system it’s just that chadine is the only one that was explicitly banned on the ban list by the ioc and the ISU and
All these um world anding federations and because she was 15 she was considered a protective person which meant that she had to go through this trial and she was treated a little bit lighter we’ll get a little bit up back on that the results of the test came to
Light after the figure skating team event at Beijing Winter Olympics during which Camila valiva had led the Russian Olympic Committee because they are not under their flag they’re under a neutral flag known as the Russian Olympic Committee because they have had so many Banning things before and then this
Happened to a first place finish ahead of the US in second and Japan in third Canada meanwhile finished fourth no medals have been subsequently awarded given the doping controversy but Monday’s announcement from Cas is significant the Swiss body said that the ban includes the disqualification of all competitive results and people have been
Pointing to this wording saying that if they’re disqualified then that would mean that the US is first and Japan is second and Canada is third however things are not that easy because this was a team event meaning the Kam was only a portion a large portion but only
A portion of the reason why they got first place and this complicates things cuz what are they going to do are they just going to take her points away are they just going to take the entire team away how do we decide this and this is a
Task that has now been given to the ioc and the ISU the court of abration for sport really said not my problem after 2 years of the bare they just said you’ll figure out part two Aiea sends the positive test in its statement C said that it has no scope to
Decide what will happen to the final standings of the team event a responsibility that out lies with the international skating Union and I believe at some point the ioc as well like where even are these medals I believe they would have to be with the ioc right the points camilaa earned by
Competing at the 2022 Beijing games have been disqualified through this decision and it’s imperative that the ISU immediately handles the technical processes needed to reallocate the medals accordingly said Travis Tigard CEO of the US anti-doping agency usada then the rightful winners of the team figure skting event can celebrate their
Achievement and be recognized as the Olympic Champions that they are so you see the US is already being like we got Olympic Champions on here we don’t know that yet of course the moment to receive this recognition and the benefits that come from their sacrifice and hard work
Can never be replaced it’s going to suck to get their medal in the mail but at least they’re going to get it maybe hopefully on Monday the ISU welcomed the decision from C and said it would publish a full statement with regards to the implications on Tuesday meaning
Tomorrow we got no statement right now meanwhile Sarah hland the CEO of the US Olympic and Par Olympic Committee said the decision is a significant win not only for Team USA athletes but also for athletes around the world who practice fair play and advocate for clean sport
CN reached out to the ioc to the Japan Olympic Committee and the Russian Olympic Committee for further comment nobody’s responded it’s taken almost two years of wrangling that’s the best word to describe that is of wrangling between various anti-doping bodies to reach what looks to be a conclusion from Cil test
The reason they say or seems to be is because there’s still 30 days which Russia can appeal I don’t think they will and I’ll tell you why because I think this is somehow trade they’ve been allowed back into the fold of the Olympics they’re now allowed to compete
At the Olympics under the neutral flag of course or maybe we don’t know under some different flag who who knows and now this suddenly out of the blue decision from Kam happens it’s giving sacrificial lamb it’s giving Tit for Tat it’s giving we give you a fouryear ban
If you accept us into the Olympics that’s alleged that’s what I think but anyways but the ongoing uncertainty of the case means that the skaters from the US Japan and Canada are still in the dark waiting to see if their medals will be reallocated according to the sporting
Group global athlete let’s skip a little bit forward to see an information in December 2022 a Russian anti-doping agency rousar commission said that Vala bore no fault or negligence for the positive test from the previous year while the skater has also said the drug was ingested accidentally here’s the
Thing that was what rusada and the Russian Federation were initially arguing that it was completely unknown to her that it must have been some sort of accidental ingestion that she had no idea she had no clue and I genuinely believed that she had no clue however I
Don’t think it was accidental I think there’s some tum Foolery in the back but we’ll get into it later on however rada’s ruling was appealed by the ioc and the ISU and even a portion of the decision was appealed by Rada itself because guess what rusada Russia has
Changes in his stance and sought punishment now that may include or may be limited to a reprimand for valieva how interesting even with the latest news of Camila’s band Alexander kogan the director of the general Russian figure skting Federation said that he still views his athletes to be champions in
The team event so they give away Camila Vala but they don’t want to give away the medals which I don’t know how the points turn out to be I haven’t done the math I haven’t looked back at the scores of the team event but if you take away
K’s involvement does it result in second place does it result in third or they still in first I don’t know it was difficult to expect an objective decision in the situation said kogan on Monday according to the state news agency Ria no noos the Federation is not
A party to the process we received the information and it will be carefully analyzed we believe that the Russian skaters are Olympic champions in the team competition Russian athletes were competing under no flag as neutrals at the Winter Olympics in Beijing due to previous ban for doping non-compliance
Which began in 2014 after a state sponsored people always forget about that state sponsored doping that was confirmed it was literally encouraged and enabled by the state and then they’re always so shocked when all these Russian figureheads and newscasters and just commenters in general are like they
Are attacking us for no fault of our own it’s because it’s ingrained they they have been doing this it stayes sponsored allegedly I’ll keep saying that in its Monday announcement C said that the decision to ban ca for 4 years is final and binding explaining that the parties
Can appeal to the Swiss Federal tribal within 30 days un limited ground so it is final and binding however there is 30 days in which there is a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance that Russia will appeal because they have to appeal on some sort of grounds they already Tred to prove
That she did it accidentally through the weird grandfather water burping situation that she drank accidentally cuz she tried to say that her grandfather actually took the medication and she drank the same water as him and that somehow made it into her bloodstream along with three other I I’m
Sorry I cannot laugh when explaining that with three other heart medications what the explanation for those how many heart medications your grandfather on and how much water was he drinking and then there was some other weird excuse where it was like oh maybe she knew but
She didn’t know exactly what it was here is my my theory is that the Personnel the adults the doctor maybe somebody around her knew exactly what they were giving her because the fact that she was positive at the Russian Nationals is not a coincidence it was in Russia where
They probably were taking their daily vitamins that cam Vala just thought are her daily vitamins and because they were in Russia they felt maybe a little too confident they got a little too big for their boots the rationing and the science and the algorithm did not
Algorithm that day and it turned out in a positive test or maybe they just weren’t expecting a random testing at that specific competition who knows what happened but I genuinely believe that cila did not know and that this is just common I wouldn’t say common practice
But maybe a little bit common in certain high level athletes in Russia because the I mean whe there’s smoke there’s fire why do you think Russia was there with a banned neutral flag it’s because they’ve been caught before red-handed time and time again so do I think cila
Vala knew do I think the people around her knew some enough to not be surprised by this news but everybody just keeps saying they’re attacking us they’re attacking us they’re attacking us there just has to be consequences when you’re caught red-handed I am sorry and the most annoying thing is that cila does
Not need she’s prob probably one of the most talented skaters we’ve seen this generation she is the Perfect Blend in my opinion of artistic and athletic and to ruin it for her by just giving her these drugs and just not considering the fact that this might ruin her career it
Might leave a stain which it has in her career is so irresponsible of everyone around her including her parents her coach her doctors I don’t know who knows maybe her parents didn’t know maybe her coach didn’t know maybe the doctor didn’t know I don’t know who knew but
Somebody knew and nobody that actually was involved with the doing I believe or allegedly involved with the doing was investigated all that was investigated all that was done here was by Kam trying to prove that she did it accidentally that she didn’t know and so they had to
Pull out a thin air some sort of excuse because they can’t say oh I took my vitamins that so and so gives me every day well then so and so is going to get in trouble see what I’m saying anyways let’s read the actual press statement
Which tells us a little bit more than the General Media which just says fouryear ban and doesn’t really explain how this is basically a slap on the wrist because like I said she’s already completed 3 years of that the court of arbitration for sport has issued its decision in the appeal arbitration
Procedures blah blah blah blah blah blah blah the most important bullet point here is M Vala is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation adrv under Clause 4.1 of all Russian anti-pan rules so basically even the rusada rules she broke and Rous now agrees that she did in the beginning
They were very defensive they were like no it was accidental accidental and I knew they were going to fight till the very end and I think the end was them being accepted back into the F because the true ban that was given to camil Vala was not even because of the doping
It was a Countrywide ban because of the war is the entire ban that was given to Russia which wasn’t even given directly to her but that is truly the only consequence in punishment that she has received in her career after this occurred and again it wasn’t directed at
Her it wasn’t intended for her it just happened if the war had not happened Camila valiva would be competing like nothing ever happened and any medal that she would have won internationally would have been then brought into question would have had to been taken away after
This and any other winner that had been bumped out of the podium would have also have to not receed the medals like Team USA and Team Japan until there was a decision made which would have been 2 years later do you know how crazy that is like she would have just been
Knocking people out of medals wherever she went but because she was stuck in Russia and in Russia I don’t even think any of these quote unquote consequences will affect her because we’re going to read some of these consequences I don’t think they can apply them at all and
Russia no way let me keep reading you’ll get what I’m mean according to Clause 4.1 which means that she basically did doping of the Russian ADR athletes are responsible not the Personnel not the adults around her but the athlete Camila Vala is responsible for any prohibited substance found to be present in their
Samples and the presence of any prohibited substances amount to an adrv basically there was enough tresine in her system that this is a positive test it is a violation of anti-doping rules and this is matter a prohibited substance tresine which is in short TMZ which I think is so perfect like TMZ the
News station is messy tadine is messy it’s it’s Perfection was found to be present in the sample Collective from Miss Vala on the 25th of December of 2021 during the Russian national championship in St Petersburg again red flag Miss Vala did not contest the liability in that she accepted that by
Recent of the presence of TMC in her sample she had committed an adrv under Clause 4.1 of the Russian ADR basically meaning that Cil Mala was not contesting the fact that the sample was positive she admitted to that she said yes it’s positive however I am innocent because I
Don’t know how that happened it must have been an accident let me prove my innocence and the result is she could not prove it sufficiently it was therefore a matter for the CIS panel to consider what sanctions if any should be imposed on misala pursuant to the
Russian ADR bearing in mind that in the absence of the grounds for elimination reduction or suspension the Russian ADR provide for a for 4year period of ineligibility meaning this is the part that is so wild to think about that no matter what if you are found to violate
This rule the punishment is a 4-year ban but because and we’ll get in the next line Camila Vala was a protected person at the time she could appeal this process and she was giving a lighter sentence and that is truly the only reason why she was lifted from the band
Temporarily and allowed to compete in the individual event mind you they knew full well that if she qualified if she got third second or first the entire medal ceremony could not be done with medals because Camila Vala would be again in limbo so the fact is they even
Allowed her to participate is insane to me after seeing the mess the debacle The debauchery there was the team event that couldn’t celebrate their medals they were willing to do that to risk that for the individual event because Russia was so confident it has so much freaking
Pool power with the ioc that they said lift the freaking band this is our star child and we need to see her in that solo individual women’s ladies event and they did and the little 15-year-old crumbled under the pressure and did not make it to the podium she got fourth I
Believe and this means now that that title is taken away is disqualified and whoever was below her which I don’t remember who it was is now in fourth place which is crazy but isn’t that insane like if she was only 16 there wouldn’t have been all that bruhaha
Maybe it we don’t know the Russian pool but because she was 15 it was even more dramatic and more a mess is the best way that I would say it and even then they still allowed her to to participate I would just be thinking about the other
Skaters and like take her out of it she’s just a 15-year-old child it’s going to be a mess it’s going to be a circus of media and stuff and I know it’s her dream but like then the other skaters and then she did it and I don’t
Know let’s keep reading in order to benefit from A reduced period of in eligibility Miss vva needed to prove by a balance of probabilities that she had not in intentionally committed to a adrv again an anti-d REM violation by engaging in a conduct which she knew constituted an adrv or in a conduct
Where she knew that there was significant risk that said conduct might constitute or result in an adrv and manifestly disregarded that risk meaning did she know was she aware at all even if it was in the slightest bit that she was putting things in her system that
Could have been banned and this is where I think the waters are a little bit muddied because in my head in my theory is that she is given her quote unquote vitamins by her team or is just told drink this power shake or use this or
Use that by her coach her team her personal trainer whoever it might be and she just says yes sir because that is the culture in Russia that is the culture in her Camp remember she’s a Terry girl it’s yes sir jump how high that is the attitude and if anyone in a
Position of power that tells her you want to win Olympic gold you need to do this I feel like this girl would do it without even knowing what she is putting her body to and alleged alleged alleged I don’t know anything but that’s what I
Feel and so how do you prove that you’re innocent without throwing your entire team and Country under the bus but this was probably how you got a positive doping test there’s that let’s keep reading having carefully considered all evidence put before it the CIS panel concluded that misala was not able to
Establish on the balance of probabilities and on the basis of evidence before the panel that she had not committed an adavar intentionally with the meaning of the Russian ADR meaning that she was found to have known to some level that she was putting herself at the risk of having a positive
Sample which you would think implicates somebody around her but they’re sticking to the grandpa water excuse so you can’t really go after the grandpa for using heart medication can you so there’s that the C panel stressed that the test with respect to intention under Clause 2.2 of
The Russian ADR is one and the same whether the athlete is an adult or a protected person bam therefore it means that if a protected person f fails to discharge the burden which under the Russian ADR is Born To The Athlete it’s CA Vala’s responsibility to know what
Goes in her body that he or she did not commit an adrv intentionally there is no basis under the rules to treat them any differently from an adult athlete all that to say that because she couldn’t prove that she wasn’t aware and it was completely accidental she has been
Giving the adult treatment which is a 4-year ban mind you when this began Camila Val was 15 she is 17 now she is an adult so yes it’s unded and she did turn 16 only a few months later while meeting Putin the irony upon all ironies
Is just it’s just they keep piling up but she is now been given the adult treatment and that was a point that I wanted to stress because it was a big point of contention during the Olympics where they were saying but she’s only 15 she’s a protected person we can’t treat
Her like an adult we can’t just ban her we can’t just pull her out of the competition and people were saying listen if you’re going to allow 15-year-olds to be senior and compete with 20-year-olds and other adult people and and be in adult events senior events
Then you have to treat them like senior people like adult people and well now they are but plst it’s 2 years later and she’s already an adult so in the end I don’t even know if anything was done like I said this feels like a slap on
The wrist I’ll get into it a little bit further anyways accordingly since it was determined that there was no scope for the exercise of discretion to reduce the period of ineligibility a 4-year period of Eligibility was imposed by the panel so she was giving the punishment that is
Said by the book for your ban for your ban done but the ban Begins the day that the positive test was enacted the period of Eligibility starts on the 25th December of 2021 that means we’ve already gone through three of those freaking years literally and it ends on December 25th of
2025 and any period of provisional suspension served froma is to be credited against the period of ineligibility so she served the majority of it the Z panel also ordered the disqualification of all competitive results achieved by misala from the 25th of December of 2021 with all resulting consequences including the forfeiture of
Any titles Awards medals profit its prices and appearance of money now hear me out I don’t think they can honestly apply any of these consequences to her and I honestly don’t think it won even make a difference so titles the only titles that she has is Russian national
Champion that’s taken away okay whatever she’s basically been that before and has been that ever since has been winning the national championship ever since only bested by Adelia pan who is the new upand cominging a Terry girl medals all most of her medals were W before that
She had a very short senior career in international competition so she didn’t even get to win that many medals before the whole mess profits prices and appearance money how the hell are they’re going to enact that in Russia in Russia that that’s not going to happen she’s going to keep her appearance money
She’s probably going to get paid more now because this news only benefits her because she’s such a patriotic symbol she is the star people there already introduced her as Olympic champion because she’s so famous they don’t even know they just know she’s a famous figure skaters kind of like when they
Introduce Adam Ripon as Olympic champion people just know they’re they’re famous and they’re an Olympian that means they must have won and that is the same treatment that Kam was given but even bigger even larger because at a time where Russia felt like it was them against the world because basically was
Kamila became a patriotic symbol which is probably the strongest symbol you can be in order to endear a general public to you like people ride or die hard for cila and this news is only probably going to make her appearance money Skyrocket we’ll talk about some of the
Responses that have been already out there the typical response you would think which is the whole world is against us why do they think Amina is guilty they’re attacking a young girl and it’s so hard to explain how I feel because I am happy that kamila is living
Her best life she should I think she truly is the best talent that we had during her generation what pisses me off is that she was not allowed to explore that talent because of the meddling of the adults around her because they couldn’t just trust the talent they
Can’t stop it’s a compulsion they can’t stop the doping they’re still going to be at the Olympics under flag that’s how much they’ve dop state sponsored people and the fact that we’re never ever going to know the reality why and how and if it’s still going on whoever gave her
This medicine is it going into other skaters are they taking it but they haven’t been caught if one has positive doping what about the rest of the team you see what I’m saying like it it just so many questions are going to be unanswered because the only investigation and the only point that
Was being fought for is that Camila Vala didn’t know and then they couldn’t explain the logistics of why she didn’t know because they can’t throw their own country and team and doctor and Federation under the bus allegedly oh Lordy Lord like there has to be consequences to actions especially when
You have been so blatantly caught time and time again I’m talking to Russia as a country now and it’s just sad that it has to be via camil Vala who I genuinely I choose to believe did not know that she was taking a band substance because it’s probably coming practice around her
Allegedly I don’t know anything but it just feels that way and the fact that this investigation is not going to hold who I believe to be accountable or is probably accountable is very frustrating don’t take this an attack and but I am happy that there finally came a decision
And that it’s a logical one like people truly were like why com why go after her well because if you’re caught with a positive test then you get a ban 2 plus 2 is four like you have to follow certain protocol we can’t just be wildly
Dulu right now but anyways let me keep reading I’m just ranting now it just sucks because I want this consequences to be given but at the same time I feel like the consequence not hard enough but I feel like an saying that Camila Vala should have a harsher consequence because she already
Basically missed out on her entire senior career but that wasn’t a ban on her it was a ban on the country and then again the country is not being punished enough they’re just their flag is taken away and then they have a cool nickname the Russian Olympic Committee Rock we
Rock you is their literal hashtag like I don’t know the consequen is linked to the retroactive disqualification of his Mara from past events including the Olympic Winter Games ping 2022 were not within the scope of this arbitration procedure procedure and will have to be examined by the sports organization’s
Concerned meaning ISU you do that ioc you do that you ship them medals and you hand out any other updates to your rankings titles will not hand out I guess take away any titles rankings Etc the arbitral award issued blah blah blah blah the main thing here is at the end
The statement by saying the C panel’s decision is final and binding with the exception of the party’s right to file an appeal to the Swiss Federal tribunal within 30 days un limited grounds I don’t think they will appeal I think that is exact what they wanted they’re
Getting a slap on the wrist she’s basically served her three the majority of her sentence in like the best of conditions yes she’s banned but so is the rest of her main competitors so it’s not like she’s missing out on that much it sucks that we’re not seeing this
Artist in her prime at International competitions but that is a larger conversation because the reason we’re not seeing her is because of a larger political issue and I just hate that this is a state on her career but it’s not even really a state because in
Russia it just has propelled her to sue super stardom and she is set for life she is set for life and all that appearance money and all those titles that she won in Russia during the fake Grand Prix and even maybe the Russian national championship the ISU might take
It away but she’ll keep it she will keep it in the eyes of the Russian public and Camila Vala deserves to have a consequence but so do the people around her and it’s so annoying Lord this is funny so the ISU has yet to say anything
They say that they will have a statement tomorrow but Christine Brandon who is a very prolific figure skating reporter response to the isu’s generic ass statement is hilarious so the isu’s generic statement response to this news says the ISU welcomes the decision of CAS and firmly maintains its position
That the protection of clean athletes in the fight against doping are of the highest priority and will persist in the ongoing effort to uphold the Integrity of Fair competition and the well-being of athletes the ISU will publish a full statement with regards to the implications of this decision on January
30th 2024 meaning they will give us some clearer direction as to what’s going to happen to the medals the titles the rankings Etc Christine Brandon’s respones the ISU finally breaks his silence with no information about the 2022 Olympic team figure skiing medals says it will tell us tomorrow apparently
2 years wasn’t enough unbelievable total Amateur hour which I get your frustration I somewhat agree the ISU is a glacial Pace Federation but at least they’re giving us some short statement tomorrow I do predict it’ll be just as generic as this one and it will probably
Just be like we stand with our athletes we stand with clean Sport and we will begin any action needed to work along the ioc and get you your medals however you might have to wait 30 days for the appeal process window to close like I feel like that’s what’s going to say and
It’s going to be very very anticlimax I doubt that they’re going to be like the medals are ready to be shipped they’re engraved we’re ready to go and we’re holding a press conference the minute y’all get it I hope they do honestly I hope they have a cool photo shoot
Together and they get to go back on Good Morning America and it’s like a Feelgood story or something and the same for the Japanese team and maybe even the Canadian team we’ll see what ends up happening there but it’s just a mess you guys we got finally got a decision out
Of the blue it feels like the ISU had no idea this was happening and just like put out a chat GPT response and I feel like now they’re all just talking to Switzerland and the ioc and the headquarters trying to be like where are the medals who has the medals uh let’s
Ship them out put them in individual boxes like what’s happening oh wait who’s doing the recalculation what are we doing about the recalculation are we taking out the entire team or just the individual like what are we doing and whatever happens Russia is not take getting that medal taken away from them
I think what’s going to happen is either they’re going to duplicate they’re just going to make two sets of gold medals if they decide to move the USA team up or they are just going to take Kam away and recalculate the points and then just redistribute medals however that turns
Out to be but it it’s not great something that is very interesting the responses that we have been getting from different figure skaters and figure heads and everything Kam has yet to respond have been on her Instagram nothing yet but one of the most surprising resp responses to me that I
Was not expecting at all but maybe I should have because she’s so vocal is from the love of my life she decided to post a long statement that I have some umbrage with I I I I don’t know if I fully agree with her point the girls are
Fighting let’s see she says today the sport arbitration for the court arbitration for sport disqualified Camila Vala for four years starting December 25th 2021 and deprived of all medals once since that same date it’s a sad decision but we’re already accustom to being sad in Russian sport whatever I
Think about this I can tell Camila in person but I would like to say a few thoughts in public okay random but okay I was by Camila Vala in China when this all happened it was nearby even at the end of the games when we flew in
Neighboring chairs on a plane to Moscow from China I saw all the emotions and from and before so basically she saw Kam go through probably the worst time of her life and anxiety that I cannot even imagine which is why I’m like why did they let this 15-year-old keep going
Through it this just tornado of chaos but anyways I remember how much she was worried and upset at the time not understanding what was going on this is not how an athlete who purposely used doping behaves and this is the point I think she’s missing the court of
Abration did not say that kamila Vala intentionally maliciously used doping the way that they describe it is that cila Vala put herself in a position where she was at risk of having a positive sample and did that knowing because she might have ingested something that she didn’t know exactly
What it was here’s the thing athletes have to report anything they take whether it’s like ibuprofen whether it’s just like any type of medicine you have to report it and there is a list that you can check on anytime in the internet so if at any point you put something in
Your mouth that you do not know what it is you are putting yourself at risk of being on that positive doping test and having a banned substance in your body and that is what she was found guilty of of not being truly diligent with what goes into her system and that’s that’s
Why she got the results that she did they did not say Camila Vala purposely took doping that was not the result the result was that she put herself in a position where she couldn’t say 120% there is nothing in my system that is you know a ban substance and if there is
I can explain why and then she couldn’t explain why so that’s what happened but Aya continues saying he this is a bad translation she will be angry that everything that came out to look for the guilty ones but camia but camia just didn’t understand what was going on
Imagine chasing Olympic all of your life and then you arve okay we’re projecting now imagine chasing Olympic gold all of your life and then you arrived at it as a favorite we’re fully projecting now are you ready to win and they tell you you can perform but we will probably
Deprive you of the medals afterwards because you are 15 years old I don’t know if there a mistranslation or what but there’s three things you got to contest there one yes she was ready to win but she already knew that she was positive by that point if you’re talking
About the individual event so that was a risk that she was willing to take and she decided to take it and then two if you do get there they did have have to De priv of the medals because there was a positive so like imagine they tell you
That yeah imagine you show up to the Olympic and then you have a positive doping test that’s that’s what we should be imagining but I have a lot of questions about this story oh God why did the story with testin surface a couple days before the Olympic performance well because your team team
Did not mark it as priority this was not like some sort of nobody’s trying to Blackmail nobody’s trying to nobody’s trying to Tanya Harding her like nobody’s trying to purposely make her fail what like why why would anyone do that to her the only people who could be
Able to do that are your team the ioc a random employ at the I is not going to do that or like at rusada if it was already known in December of 2021 literally anyone who could have marked it a priority is Russian why would they
Do that CA like this this logic is not loging How could a decision be made after the Olympics for two years girl we’re asking ourselves all of that why did it take 2 years I don’t know a whole lot of red tape yeah a lot of questions
There’s a lot of questions here but not the right ones my girl and why does a skater need doping anyway oh no not the poop and response I understand track and field skiing and B alathon that is longdistance athletes but figure skaters what medicine can help jump a quadruple
Toe loop maybe you could share a recipe with me I can’t but I can think of a few people in Russia that might like oh you you no girl I love you so much why you why you Hing um okay so yes you can dope and figure skating we
Need to put we need to get that out of the way Putin said it first and now it’s freaking spreading when she went to meet with Putin Putin said what you and I cam know is that you can’t even dope in figure skating because figure skating is
A sport of beauty what and now Aya is saying a little bit adjacent of a statement saying I can understand other sports are real sports that require muscle like people think doping is like testosterone like bulking up no doping is any medicine that gives you a heightened or enhanced ability that you
Wouldn’t otherwise have and if it’s on the band list it’s because it has been proven to enhance results in figure skating you need you need to have endurance you need to be strong for those 5 minute programs the long programs specifically but even the short program you need to have just high
Endurance and the way you can do that is like pumping more blood into your heart which is what these heart medicines do when you don’t need them therefore it is doping my love it is doping because you are getting a skill a oneup on other people that if maybe they had the
Medicine they would be able to match you or and beat but because only you have the medicine you can match them and beat them see what I’m saying and so I hate this concept that you can’t dope and figure skating yes she’s a talented individual which is why I’m so angry
Because she would have beat everybody there without the medicine but here we are somebody gave it to her and the questions you should be asking is why why did someone give this to her who thought it should be so easy and so common and so part of the culture that
Camila Vala is unknowingly taking tresine and putting it into into her system because somebody is just telling her put this in take this in this will make you jump quicker last longer or whatever and maybe they’re not even phrasing it that way maybe it’s just
Like this is Vitamin C take it but those are the questions we need to be asking not how can you dop in figure skating can you even dop in figure skating yes you can the answer is yes if there’s a ban list there’s a ban list done I can
Say with confidence that CA didn’t know anything about youring and that is not what we’re baiting about I believe you I genuinely think she didn’t I am very sorry that an athlete who was not made any mistakes is purposely deprived of metals she did make the mistake of
Putting medicines in her body that she did not know 110% were clean meaning not on the band list that is sadly a mistake that she did make maybe not by her own valtion but there is a mistake that was done I am very sorry that an athlete who
Has not made any mistak is purply deprived of medals I could site dozens of examples of our International athletes basically anyone that is not Russian being justified in similar situations but I won’t the only one I can thinkk think of is a girl who put on
Like mascara and then it got out that she had some sort of band substance because she touched her eyelashes and then it turns out they tested the mascara and that was truly provable and evidence like supporting logic that they could test and show the panel and then
Her metal was given back to her but that took like 3 years or like 2 years something like that but so I don’t know many many situations but honestly I wish you didn’t list them I would love to Google but I won’t okay SAS going to
Save the strength to hug CA tight when see each other P.S Camila I want you to just smile like in this photo I love you so I’m not a therapist but what I think is happening here is that wounds have been reopened mova in 2018 was the girl
With a traumatic storyline with a traumatic moment event it wasn’t a storyline it happened to her it was real and so seeing camail Mala now be the girl in 2022 with the dramatic storyline with the favorite to win it all I mean I could link my Olympic favorite CIS video
Right here right now literally it goes Yuna H and bya and then CA this is what’s happening wounds are being open she is seeing her stories her wounds her her deepest emotional triggers occurring in Kam once more the Olympics is a touchy subject and it obviously a trigger and I think seeing firsthand
Seeing Kam go through this roller coaster of emotions that she probably went through as well is is horrible and so now she feels like she has to make a statement because she probably wishes that somebody had stood up for her because girl we can remember that not a
Lot of people in Russia stood up for you when you tried to stand up for yourself do you remember that do you remember that when you went to Canada and everybody lost their damn minds and called you a traitor to the country well I feel like now she’s trying to be that
Person that is standing up for Camila Vala and again I’m not attacking Camila Vala the consequences sadly can only be given to her because it was her positive doping test even though I believe it should be extended to other individuals but this is where we are this is what
The court of arbitration for sport was debating on and it was only Kam was name that was put on that list so here we are so if you can imagine the rest of the figureheads in Russia are doing the same thing where they’re just saying that
Somebody I don’t even know who it is said Scoundrels and Lawless people of course an appeal must be filed against this decision you have to fight scum using their own methods there are more crazy quotes from Russians saying C has rendered a decision unprecedented in its cruelty Camila is a unique athlete she
Did not deserve such punishment becoming a victim of a bureaucratic machine I do think she’s a victim of a bureaucratic machine maybe not the same machine we’re thinking of though she’s definitely a victim though definitely a victim of the system that I believe was never allowed to thrive because of external factors
But one thing that I we need to talk about is Camila Vala in the 2026 Olympics because I know what you’re thinking now you’re like what do you mean of course she’s not going to be at the 20 Olympics because well one she is reaching the Teri expiration date the
Window is closing and the supposed famed notorious at expiration date andan has seemed to have risen to take that position as the main chance for the 2026 Olympics but also the band extends to December of 2025 which means that she would probably not be able to qualify for the Olympics but technically she
Could go for some other flag some other country maybe she could even go for Russia if they have no other prospects and they’re like well C wants to go we can throw her in here 2026 is going to be a mess and I genuinely don’t want
Cila to be another hurricane of chaos of media circus at another Olympics but I wouldn’t put anything past Russia I genuinely think there’s like a point 01 chance that she would be at the Olympics as a skater representing Russia or the neutral flag of Russia whatever it might
Be but 2026 the band is lifted and it is the 2026 Olympics so and again Russians are not allowed into International competition so I don’t even know how they’re qualifying is anyone really going to make kamila stop skating in Russia like you see what I’m saying there is still a slight little chance
That kamila could still be competing in competitions of Russia and the Russians are like hey if we’re allowed by any rule to send CA we think that we should because she deserves another chance at the Olympics however will CAA want to go again I don’t know the amount of anxiety
That she already overcame and the amount of anxiety that being at another Olympics might cause her let alone the pandemonium that will be around her media wise I don’t think I would want to be in the middle of that and she already has gotten any fruits that she could get
Out of an Olympic appearance you what I’m saying like she already is being treated like the Olympic champion so what would she truly be getting out of it professionally like career-wise besides a medal maybe she’s more competitive than I think maybe she will try tooth and nail to go with any
Loophole that she can and maybe Russia is able to send her I don’t know how I don’t know how you can be so Brash to try and do that but I feel like if kamila galiva truly wants to there is a chance that she could go which would be
So insane and you know what it wouldn’t even surprised me because every Olympic has just been one horrifying moment after the next the Olympic favorite curse is continuing and although I don’t think she would go into the next Olympics and every Olympics has one bombshell moment if Kam Vala goes that
Could could be the one we interrupt this program for an important news announcement guys it is the next day and everything is happening literally minutes ago a Terry posted a statement on the situation the ISU has released Replacements which has made Canada very angry and we need to talk about all of
It because it feels like by the minute things are just happening and I just need to talk about it right now before anything crazier happens cuz I need to put this video out and I also want to know what you guys think so first things first the ISU did complete their promise
And put out a statement which explains specifically with freaking math that I don’t understand somebody explained to me why the placements are the placements that they are and the results are in ladies and gentlemen and the USA is now Olympic team champions I am not surprised I saw this coming this fits
Perfectly Into The Narrative of Russia being like the USA did this to us on purpose it was all a ploy to take us down they are taking away our medals the only reason cam was found positive for doping was to take down the entire team which I still think is a crazy Theory
Like I genuinely don’t think that Cil Vala was oh my God I keep forgetting the word but I don’t think nobody tried to trip cila I don’t think anyone again the only person who could have done that would have been a Russian the sample was tested in Russia I don’t think anyone
Would have messed up camil bala’s doping sample just so that USA could win that’s just not true in second place we have Japan so Japan is now a silver medalist go move it on up that is a big jump from bronze to Silver so y Japan Japan is
Honestly just here being like y’all fight we chill and then in third place the Russian Olympic Committee so they weren’t fully disqualified only Kamas points were disqualified and through the doing of the math that means that Russia goes from first to third which is honestly what I thought would happen I
Thought that G’s points were enough to put them in first place but I don’t think if being taken away they would have been kicked off completely off the podium they still had a pretty strong team in CA being the strongest link there but because people heard disqualification everybody thought that
Russia was going to be taken out completely and that Canada was possibly going to get a medal and the Canadians are not happy they put out a statement saying Skate Canada is extremely disappointed with International skating units position on the long awaited two years awaited awarding of medals for the
2022 Beijing Olympic Games figure skating team competition the court of evitation for sports C ruled that in addition to a 4-year ban from the competition the ban includes the disqualification of all competitive results but that’s specifically I believe achieved by the Russian figure SC exactly since the positive test the
ISU in its recent decision not to apply rule 353 oh they’re bringing out rules which states that the competitors having finished the competition and who initially plays lower than the disqualified competitors will move up accordingly in their placement Skate Canada strongly disagrees with the isu’s position on this matter and will
Consider all options to appeal this decision wait a damn a minute okay wait wait if they appeal it would be the ISU not the court of abration for support okay thank God okay I don’t want anyone appealing the decision that was said to be final and binding that is done we
Need we need this Saga of the court of reputation support to be put to an end however appealing the ISU sure go ahead do that but don’t because I feel like these medals just need to be received stop it I think we should just give out
These medals has been 2 years I need them all to just get medals they need to get their medals and yes I guess it is important to note who should get what medal but I don’t know I feel am I am I in the wrong here I feel like I agree
With the placements I thought this was exactly what was going to happen I did not see Russia losing out on any medals I honestly even predicted they would go as far as keeping the first place medals and then just awarding a second pair of first place medals to the Team USA
They’ve done it before but moving Shifting the medals in there yeah like it seems all right to Me Maybe the math is effed up somebody check out the math apparently chrisy Brennan was not happy with the math her latest tweet says it has been well over 24 hours 6 and a half
To be exact SAS is at 100 and still nothing from the international skinning Union explaining what role it used to put Russia ahead of Canada for the 2022 Olympic team figure skating bronze medal total silence am I the minority here I genuinely wouldn’t think that CA had
That much of an impact to take them from fourth to first but from third to First that seems logical to me I don’t know but you know what the real breaking news is the fact that mere minutes ago posted she posted she saw that Kya posted she
Saw that everybody else was posting I’ve seen crazy things of Russian posting pictures of like it is always black athletes which I don’t want to get into that but it is always people like Simone biles and and Serena Williams or Venus Williams who have all these muscles and
Then post them side by side with CA being like yeah cuz they don’t dope I’m like what how is that evidence of anything like they got muscles okay and it’s always like I said these black athletes it’s really weirdly coded but there’s a lot of from what I see in the
Media a lot of stigma and notion in Russia that if you don’t have muscles you can’t be doping which is just not true can we just agree on that but anyways let’s read D’s statement all right has nothing to do with the William sisters and Simone biles but I’ve been
Seeing that a lot and I don’t like it it feels weird all right so has spoken she says for 2 years now I have not commented on the doping situation discovered by Camila valva at the championship of Russia in 201 21 despite underserved endless haes and accusations
On our side our entire team has been strictly prohibited from commenting ooh I did not know that or evaluating what is happening as it may affect and interfere with the investigation all right that makes sense and I probably wanted most of all that this story would be thoroughly investigated and that I
Would be left with no questions even if it was a mistake that makes no sense a mistake or a crime by somebody else also she is mad that nobody else got thrown under the bus because people are accusing her of being the the Sorceress behind behind the scenes who might have
Gotten hands on some doping but she says it is not me and I wish somebody else would have been found out for it interesting for many years I have been working sometimes without weekends or holidays for the results of athletes and I like no one else want to know what
Happened to Camila and how that draw g into her body girl if you don’t know then we don’t know I don’t know all my athletes were and remain clean I am for clean sport there is no other way our athletes have been competing in international competition since 2010
Okay and it will probably be impossible to count the number of doping samples that have been submitted during this time the samples have always been clean I hope it stays that way we have always taught and explained to our athletes and their parents ooh a little shade to the
Parents that you need to be more careful when taking even the simplest medicine for colds and that you can’t trust unfortunately absolutely no one is she accusing someone of giving her drugs without Cam knowing cuz that would be insane and after 2 years nothing became clear the origin of this drug was not
Investigated and I agree with her it was not investigated the origin of the drug I need to know who gave it to her so there were a lot of questions left and only accusations from different sides fly in our Direction she said I am fed
Up of being told that I was the one who gave her something to make her have a positive sample it was not me and I am mad that this investigation was not more about trying to find the root of the problem and I agree with her I need to
Know what happened I need to know I need people to trace it back how did she get this I have no questions about Camila she is a child and I will continue to support her in any way possible no offense to all my previous athletes cam
Is the most gifted athlete I love that I love that you know why cuz she’s done that before every time there’s an interview and they’re like I so have you ever gotten close to an athlete she says no offense to all my other athletes but if Kena and now she’s saying that no
Offense to my other athletes but kamila is the most talented and I agree with her and her athletic share faced a challenge that is difficult to describe in words regarding the veredict I have one main question at least someone defended CA at the hearings because the veredict couldn’t have been worse ca’s
Story is our pain well well well I can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with a terit to a point I agree that this investigation was lacking in the fact that they had no interest and I mean no interest in trying to figure out truly how that doping sample became positive
All that was done was Camila Vala came with her plausible excuse how thises drug get in your body she said I think it’s because my grandpa takes the medicine and then I drank it from a cup and I think that’s why and they were like that is not scientifically possible
Therefore you are guilty boom done imagine that in the span of 2 years but instead what we have is a child who I genuinely in my heart of hearts believe does not know how this happened apparently a coach that does not know how this happened I am a little more
Skeptical of it say what he said not knowing how and who might have been involved in there because this feels like she’s throwing a little bit of shade to someone she’s saying you can’t trust anyone in this sport there is somebody else she’s basically saying I
Am fed up of people looking at me acting like I was the one who possibly gave her something some sort of vitamin or or whatever when in reality it probably was some other adult in her life and she did mention the parents but maybe it could
Be some other adult like it could be freaking an aunt for all that we know like somebody and that is I believe irrefutable somebody in her life gave her tresine like it was in her system so we need to stop acting like this did not
Happen it did can we all agree on that there was tesem plus three other heart medications okay so somebody was giving her significant amounts for it to show up in a random doping test so that is one two somebody was giving to her unknowing that is what I believe like
Not that the person didn’t know but the cam did not know and now a Terry is saying I didn’t know either and I am mad because I keep telling my athletes they need to be very careful what you put in your body and somebody gave his child a
Substance that was banned and they did not know it was banned or maybe they didn’t measure it correctly for it to not show up in the system and I agree that the investigation should have been more thorough in terms of actually trying to trace back what what happened
But if the child says the only way this got into my body is because Grandma burped into a cup and I drank it and she will offer no other explanations how are you meant to investigate because nobody else was going to talk like do you really think if they showed up to the
Entirety of team and they interviewed everyone and they interviewed her parents they interviewed her brothers if she has any or her sister and they interviewed freaking her teachers any adult in her life hell her friends do you really think anyone would have said anything no so if Cam doesn’t know and
The in her life who gave her this medicine is not telling her how would the court of abration for sport really get down to it it’s this culture of secrecy and this culture of normaly with drugs that Russia has shooting itself in the foot with because let’s not forget
They are still participating under a neutral flag and why is that because it’s been proving Time and Time and Time Again multiple occasion across different sports that they have dot because something that keeps saying even if Kenya said is that I can understand in other sports like track why track
Because track athletes from Russia have already been found guilty and even in those circumstances they still pleaded their innocence but then what ended up happening is that they discovered that the athletes as part of their normal routine as athletes were given medicine that was banned hell Shady doctor Dr
Shety was banned in 2008 or 2007 I forget the exact year for doing doping through blood transfusions blood transfusions and he accepted that he was guilty it is part of the culture that is undeniable and there was Tres in her blood system that is undeniable but I agree with that to that the
Investigation should have had a little bit more of an incentive a little bit more dedication in figuring out why and how this got into our system and you know what is kind of sad is that I think they probably have an inkling if there was 2 years of investigating they
Probably have an idea of how this drug got into her system but they can’t make accusations they’re a court of utation for sports so unless there is hard evidence and they’re trying to find someone guilty they’re not going to put out a statement saying also there is a possibility that the drug was
Administered by so and so so they’re not going to say that because they need to have hard facts and then give a punishment they probably have an inkling and they can’t say anything and I’m sure Kam probably now at this point has an inkling cuz she can think of anyone
Who’s ever giving her any medicine but in her head everything has been pre-approved the only thing the court of reputation for sport was tasked with doing is seeing if Camila Vala had taken purposefully or had put herself in a situation where she was risking putting something within her body that could
Have been banned because she didn’t have full knowledge of what she was putting on her body and that’s what she was guilty of she was found guilty of knowing she was putting herself in a risky situation by taking medicine or taking substances that she wasn’t 100% sure were safe and people keep
Forgetting that that is the only guilty verdict she’s gotten and she’s already served 3 years of her sentence so it’s truly is to me a slap on the wrist and the disqualifications yes they hurt but her senior career barely got started so I guess maybe that hurts more because the
Few titles she did get have now been taken away but I don’t know it’s also so complicated and Canada’s pissed now but to me the math is right I don’t know tell me from the minority I feel like this feels correct that if you just take away one person’s points then they would
Just flop down maybe two spots not three I mean if Canada has to appeal and appeal go ahead but I just want these athletes to get their medals that is honestly my main concern is I feel like they need to just hold it and feel it it’s probably going to be such a
Traumatic release of emotions once they get it we need to also remember that the only person traumatized from this event was not camaa of course she went through the most crazy part of it and probably had the most hiding motions and went through the most scrutiny but every
Other athlete has also been traumatized by this event every single team High placing team at this event did not get medal not one that is traumatizing imagine working your entire life to get the Olympics you finally get there you get a placement that you’re proud of and
You can’t celebrate for 2 years and you have to keep hearing about it every single day and not knowing if you’re ever going to get them here today now ever and then it was traumatizing we saw for every other atar member there it was traumatizing for Terry obviously by the
Statement to be accused for 2 years of being the person that you know put cam in the situation it was traumatizing 110% for Alexandra trusova who had a full mental breakdown or emotional breakdown she screamed at everybody talking about screaming about wanting to quit the sport and accusing her team
Members and coaches of knowing all along that this was a plot against her again the culture is not a healthy one Anna shakova said that she felt emptiness after winning because she just couldn’t react she didn’t know how to take it like this was a traumatizing event hell
I was traumatized by watching it so we all need to just think about how we can make long lasting changes in the culture of sport in Russia so that this is not even a chance a possibility that it can happen again athletes are responsible for what comes into their body that is
Part of the rules and if you’re taking medicine without 100% knowing what it is you’re putting yourself at risk and that is what happened with Camila and sadly I genuinely do believe she is the most talented skater we’ve seen in a generation I’ll say it again and it
Sucks that this is now part of her Legacy and for years and forever people are going to question her skills and that sucks because I genuinely do believe she’s naturally talented but people are going to question it and I know in Russia she’s a hero and nobody’s
Questioning her in Russia but it’s still staying on her Legacy because we were unable to see her Thrive we’ve just seen her now as a point of contention she’s become a patriotic symbol in Russia because of this contention and I I wish she was just known as a good athlete
Unless the girl who has been put through the freaking fire honestly this is a really sad story all around and I thought this was the ending of it but now I genuinely don’t know and I’m waiting to see if kamila Vala will make a statement but I think she’s very
Smartly staying quiet I think it’s better for her to stay quiet right now because so many people have so many opinions about this let your actions speak for themselves keep thriving in Russia and I genuinely hope that she’s in a good space and Mally and that she’s
Surrounded by people who love her and that she knows that yes she was found guilty but she’s only so much culpable she probably knows in her head or the main suspects of giving her tresine because it was in her system all right 100% it was in her system plus two other
Heart medications let me know what you guys think in the comments I have a feeling it is not going to end anytime soon as always shout out to Natalia Leslie Timothy Tori and V and I’ll talk to you guys later byebye
