I don't see anything suspect about her at all. not exactly...the first two missed tests where in April and August 2018 - and she did compete at the Euros in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah, happens all the time on BBC! Not with football or rugby of course, but with athletics, swimming....

Ridiculous really. The Justin Gatlin of swimming. Her winning a medal is a huge loss for the sport. You can think whatever you want, this is one of those rare cases where it is quite evident, if you know some very undelightful details, that she used this ban as a form of escape. You have absolutely no idea what she lived through, the fact that she came back like this is astonishing. She was one of the most tested Lithuanian athletes from 2012 to 2018, instigating that she used doping when her results got bad and after she already won it all is pretty stupid. Is it good that she purposefully missed her doping tests? No. But she was done, she thought she would never swim competitively again and she used the safety net of the ban so that she wouldn't have to make that choice herself and that the federation & media would stop pestering her about the upcoming 2020 Olympics. You don't know what it was like for Meilutytė when she stopped winning gold and immediately the journalists and many many sports fans turned on her, made fun of her body, harrassed her and all that.
