Young (15) Russian skater who returned a positive drug test.
Was apparently allowed to continue to compete because she is very young and presumably at the mercy of the entourage, one of whom at least is clearly not above trying to drug her.
CAS decided that she was a "protected person" because of her age.
She competed today and was clearly on no fit mental state.
So how can a vulnerable "protected" person be cleared to compete but no account is taken of her mental state and no action taken to remove her from the entourage?
Surely this can't be the IOC seeking to protect their battered reputation and increase Russin TV viewing figures at the expense of this poor girl?
