A fifteen year old schoolgirl, used as a mere political football, to justify an ideology focused on a poisonous toxic propaganda/agenda that is wedded to state indoctrination.
The response must be punitive, there must be no appeasement to subjecting a fifteen year old schoolgirl to being pumped full of performance enhancing drugs.
There has to be line drawn, and so being the country involved be made an example of.
Now, that could mean Russia be banned from all sports competitions, Olympics etc for decades.

She's very capable of getting gold even without doping. She's leaps and bounds in skills compared to other competitors and compatriots - Anya and Trusova - she has 3A and all the quads.
Why Russia? Why?

I'm glad you have proof she does that without the help of performance enhancing (heart in this case) drugs. Share it with the IOC and demonstrate she is not guilty then..

Yes a naturally gifted artistic skating prodigy.
With the world at her feet.
Only for the Russian government, Kamila Valieva team and coaches, to take a possible work of art, a Mona Lisa on ice and scribble a tash on her face.
