🧵IOC just destroyed another young woman athlete,complicit with the Russian coaches who gave Kamila Valiyeva drugs,lied about her test, gave her a ludicrously unbelievable story to tell, putting full blame on her instead of taking responsibility. Appalling treatment of this girl.

🧵Russia shouldn't be competing all all. They were banned for doping. But IOC bent to Putin and created the fake ROC. Why didn't Kamila's test from TWO MONTHS AGO get reported until this week? That's more Russian subterfuge. In which the IOC is utterly complicit.

🧵People who don't understand what these Russian athletes go through, how these little girls get plucked out of their families and made to compete for the State. And then are discarded for a new model. #TaraLipinski echoed what I said here after the short program. It's criminal.

🧵The way this girl was treated by her handlers who put her in this position,how these coaches behaved right out in public--it was a disgrace and should be sanctioned by the IOC. Except the IOC created this situation by inventing the ROC and then letting Kamila skate.

🧵Everyone should be appalled by what we witnessed. The coaches are so vile they abused Kamila then ignored their own golf & silver medalists. These girls are kids and they are just on their own, no one to care for them,just tools of the State to win honors for Russia.

🧵Imagine putting a 15yr old in this horrible position and then yelling at her when she finally breaks under pressure because she didn't land her quads. She's sobbing and they are yelling at her and telling her to snap out of it. JFC these people are monsters.

🧵Beyond what the fake ROC did to Kamila, they totally wrecked the women's figure skating for this #Olympics
ALL these athletes deserved a fair playing field. Kamila came in the best in the world. They didn't need to drug her back in November. The IOC is so broken.
