Ohhh And the Russian is a curler
He won a silver in mixed pairs already and tested positive for the same drug as Maria sharapova

Oh snap.

 

[Hauler]

Why the fuck would a curler need to dope? Thats the dumbest shit I've ever heard. That's like someone doping for bowling. Or darts. Or chess.

Russian Curler Is Suspected Of Doping At Pyeongchang Winter Olympics

I wonder what happens if the second test comes in positive for doping. Is the entire team going to lose the bronze spot?

Anybody see the freestyle skier who worked the system for an Olympic bid?

Elizabeth Swaney - Hungary

To qualify she attended small events so she could finish in enough top 30s. It worked. Her incredibly pedestrian run down the half pipe featuring zero tricks was pretty damn funny.

She isn't unattractive, so I'm guessing her goal is exposure. She got a laugh out of me. It was comical to watch - and helps you appreciate how good the Olympians actually are.

LMAO. I just watched the broadcast. They have replays of her zero air turns and everything. The announcers are like "That's not going to impress the judges."

Hahaha. This is by far my favorite moment of the Olympics so far. It's like a SNL skit - except it's funny.

WHY?
Russian medalist curler charged with doping
Russian bronze medalist curler Alexander Krushelnitsky charged with doping
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea -- The Court of Arbitration for Sport has confirmed that Russian curling medalist Alexander Krushelnitsky has been charged with a doping offense at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

The court said Monday that it has "initiated a procedure" involving Krushelnitsky, who won bronze in the mixed doubles event along with his wife, Anastasia Bryzgalova. The court says no hearing date has been set.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams said a failed doping test by a Russian athlete could keep the country's banned team from being reinstated and marching under the national flag at the closing ceremony.

Krushelnitsky's "A sample" tested positive for meldonium, which was banned in 2016. Adams said results of a second sample would be tested, and results could be announced within 24 hours.

The Norwegian mixed doubles curling team finished fourth and could get the bronze if the positive test is confirmed.

I've been reading that in eastern block countries this drug is viewed almost the same as asprine here
Apparently it is a masking agent though and that's why it's banned
His fault, he had to know it was on the list

Anybody from eastern Europe able to confirm?
