20. Sounds like a lame excuse.

But I'm willing to bet she was taking it during training and not competition. But got caught this time.

Let's not lose sight that all the other Russian athletes have tested negative for banned substances.

And lets direct the blame where it should be, this test was conducted back in December and it took this long to find out? The IOC is the true fuck up here, had they put in a good system, we wouldn't even be discussing this. After decades they still screw up testing and have punishments that are too harsh on some and too lenient on others. Of course, the only reason China has the winter Olympics is because of the shenanigans the IOC was trying to pull on Norway.

And the drama over all this, yeah, whatever. I'll start believing its authentic once the 1976 US Swim Team gets the medals they deserve.
