Shacarri Richardson calls out the Olympic committee for being racist.

[BigMoneyGrip]

Russians are some disgusting people, mofos was doping their special Olympic athletes…

Richardson does have a point tho

 

[Luke Cage]

This just makes her a bad human being here. You referring to a teenager with a heart condition when you went a blazed up right before a drug test.

Pure clown car status

at believing she has a heart condition.
Thats just more russian doping schemes. Doctor who said she has a condition (if there is one) is probably in on it too.

 

[Consigliere]

She’s right. Not sure what she gains from this tho.

The world has moved on.

Rules don't apply to people of a certain complexion.

I'M NOT AN EXPERT. IS THE HEART MEDICINE BEING ABUSED FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCING QUALITIES? OR DOES SHE LEGIT TAKE HEART MEDICINE?

This is my question also

Trimetazidine, also known as TMZ, is a drug with stimulant properties normally used to treat angina, or chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. It is not approved for use in the United States. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) added it to its list of banned substances in 2014, where it is prohibited both in and out of competition.

WADA issued an advisory in January 2018 that trimetazidine could show up in urine samples as a false positive for lomerizine, a migraine medication that is permitted.

Chinese swimmer Sun Yang, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, served a three-month doping ban after testing positive for trimetazidine in 2014. Russian bobsledder Nadezhda Sergeeva also tested positive for the substance during the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.

American swimmer Madisyn Cox successfully appealed a two-year ban that was reduced to six months after she proved that a vitamin supplement she had been taking was contaminated with trimetazidine.

If the test were in fact taken in December, it raises questions as to why it took so long for the test to be reported. "That would be a screw-up on somebody's part if they're just reporting a December positive now in the middle of the Olympics," veteran sports lawyer Howard Jacobs told ESPN.

Top international sports lawyer Paul Greene also wondered how it could have taken so long to process,

Several factors make this an extremely difficult case, according to Greene. "This is one of the most complicated situations I've seen and I've done these cases for a long time," he said.

seems like there's some fukkery, but I can see why an athlete would think a drug that increases blood flow to the heart could give them an edge


found this elsewhere:

“The drug can make the heart more efficient, reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart, and [cause] less stress on the heart,” Michael Joyner, MD, an expert in human performance and a Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist

Kelly Johnson-Arbor, MD, a medical toxicologist and co-medical director at the National Capital Poison Center, told Verywell the medication is considered a performance enhancement drug because it may have beneficial effects on exercise capacity and energy.

“While it does not have the muscle building or stimulant-like effects of many commonly recognized performance-enhancing or doping drugs, trimetazidine may enhance athletes’ physical efficiency and endurance,” she said.

The drug could also affect metabolism in a way that could improve skeletal muscle or heart performance, Joyner added. This kind of improvement in endurance is crucial for athletic performance.

the poor little girl with heart disease, huh?

 

[Guizmo]

She is right. Russian are known cheaters.

 

[Standing on business]

It was the US Anti doping agency that suspended Shacarri though right? Her beef should be with the US for not covering it up like other countries do for their stars right? Someone explain how these different testing agencies work and report shyt.

 

[Akae Beka]

She's right in this case.

 

[EA]

If you've watched any documentaries on sports doping, you know there's always some fukkery afoot with Russian athletes. They shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt because their doping is institutional.
