Adelina Sotnikova: “In 2014, they said that they found doping in my probe, I was supposed to have a trial, but I was acquitted because the second sample was opened and everything was fine.”

“Everyone saw how she was, especially when she was already allowed to compete and came out for the short program. Well, a 15-year-old child who came to the Olympics… she had every chance to win another gold, and then there were things coming from all sides: the media, messages, comments. Of course, she didn’t read it, but still, it’s psychologically very difficult.
Perhaps it was another way to suppress the Russian athlete because, remembering 2014 when they said after some time that they found doping in my probe and I was supposed to have a trial and everything, but then I was acquitted because the second sample was opened and everything was fine. But this is a different story. I felt terrible, I was in a depressed state. And imagine: a child who performed, already won gold, and she just needed to go out again and win gold one more time… well, of course, we had other girls who competed, and it was unpredictable who would win.” said Sotnikova on TatarkaFM

Adelina coming in first in TES is fine for me. But there’s no way she came close, let alone less than a point close, to either Yuna or Carolina in PCS. Thats what I still remember. It wouldn’t have changed the outcome to judge her more accurately, but it would have helped preventing a lot of the side-eyeing that’s still happening.
I can’t read Adelina admitted anything. Adelina did 3+3 combination which Yuna did not do. Adelina had a skate of her life in Sochi. I still remember this one.
So she just admitted that… Yuna Kim 2014 OGM
Sure, it’s all just a multi-tiered, international conspiracy to keep one Russian athlete down. It’s not like there were two other Russian skaters that could have filled any gap left by Kamila in both team and singles..people really are willing to twist themselves into pretzels..
Look, maybe it’ll end with an acquittal, maybe it won’t. I don’t speculate. But outlandish conspiracy theories are not helping.
