Hi #NAFOfellas, meet Kamila Valieva! She’s competed in the 2022 Winter #Orclympics in Beijing (1/13)

After the figure skating team event, Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine, a heart medication banned by @wada_ama due to its performance-enhancing effects. She was 15 at the time. (2/13)

Regardless, she was cleared to compete in the individual women’s figure skating event, with the caveat that, should she place in the top three, the medal ceremony wouldn’t be held. Valieva bombed the free skate, so the medal ceremony for that event could take place. (3/13)

Valieva’s teammates, Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova placed first and second. As you can tell from these pictures (taken after the results were official), both were overjoyed at having won medals /s. Such ruzzian sportsmanship /s (4/13)

In fact, Trusova had a full-on tantrum when she found out she was second instead of first, crying that “everyone has a gold medal but me”. It appears she may have also subtly given “the finger” on the podium (5/13)

Trusova, Shcherbakova, and Valieva all share the same coach, Eteri Tutberidze. Team Tutberidze’s sport doc is Filipp Shvetsky, usually seen lurking in the shadows behind the coaching staff. Shvetsky had been previously banned for doping rowers. (6/13)

Therefore, it’s almost a given that Tutberidze’s other skaters were on the same “program” as Valiva- they were just luckier in not getting caught, making Kaori Sakamoto of Japan in all likelihood the clean/rightful winner of the women’s figure skating event. Congrats! (7/13)

BTW, in the figure skating team event, the US would win gold, Japan silver, and Canada bronze due to Valieva’s positive, DQ’ing ruzzia. Team USA, Japan, and Canada athletes still haven’t received their medals (8/13)

As you can see, the presence of ruzzian dopers negatively affects other athletes. In addition, as is typical in totalitarian regimes, ruzzian athletes are used for propaganda purposes. Here you can Valieva with pootin (9/13)

Following Valieva’s positive test, giant posters of her were displayed around ruzzia. Meanwhile, Ukrainians prepared for ruzzia’s upcoming invasion (10/13)

This propaganda piece tried to twist this whole situation around to Ukraine, calling the warnings of ruzzia’s impending invasion of Ukraine “baseless”. 5 days after the article was published, ruzzia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. ruzzia speaks, ruzzia lies (11/13).

So #NAFOfellas, my main points:

1). ruzzian doping is alive and well, even when competing under a “neutral flag”, disenfranchising clean athletes
2). ruzzians lack sportsmanship
3). Most crucially: Sports in ruzzia are deeply tied to pootin and the ruzzian government (12/13)

This is why ruzzia needs to be banned from the #OlympicGames. Stay tuned for more profiles about ruzzian Orclympians coming soon! (13/13)
