Most are from the women's ice hockey team I remember Zaitseva being a huge spokesperson against doping in sport, I kind of wanted to believe her. I wasn't necessarily rooting for her in Biathlon races, but I respected her as a good opponent for my favourites. NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander 53 Posted December 2, 2017 #1402 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Rodchenkov revealed the name of the supposed Ukrainian victim. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/02/sports/olympics/russian-doping.html "Rodchenkov said that Yuri Nagornykh, the deputy minister of sport, had asked him to incriminate a Ukrainian athlete, Vita Semerenko, during a competition in Moscow leading up to the Olympics." Basically Russian officials & politicians tried to attack Ukrainian biathlon by eliminating a strong competitor (who won the Olympic gold & silver in Sochi) before the Games. Judging from the hints they wanted to spoil her doping test from the 2013 Race of Champions in Moscow. Vita has already suffered from the Russian system She was robbed of her Olympic silver (and prize money) by doping offender Olga Vilukhina. The IOC disqualified Vilukhina 5 days ago.

intoronto 4,796 Posted December 12, 2017 #1408 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Russia's women's hockey team is dqd from Sochi. This means they would have not qualified through the rankings for Pyeongchang. I wonder if any of the teams that did not make it will raise this point!

dcro 10,209 Posted December 12, 2017 #1410 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I suppose Germany should profit? Don't know how reallocations work, but they are the highest placed unqualified team in those rankings. Germany might decline such reallocation though, so maybe a good news for Czech Republic. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
