A likely excuse ! Lol
So has she been taking the old fellas dodgy Sanatogens ?
Something iffy in the Russian Werthers ?
Not even an explanation as to how it supposedly happened !

[Kardashev]

I don't think anyone believes that, doping is endemic in Russia.

A young woman in groinal distress could easily misread 'angina'.

[ToraToraTora]

yep they are still all doped up to the eyeballs, old habits die hard Can't understand why this skater is let off mind.

[Mozz71]

I think it leads to a bigger discussion about doping children. Girl's 15.

[drmorgans]

Didn't Sharapova try the same trick?

One of the best excuses for a while :-)

[johnk]

Nobody else would get away with such a ridiculous excuse.

[DTCwordfan]

they can't even produce any prescription from her grandfather - what's happen to their forgers?

[Bazile]

More than likely , in fact 100 certain that she was told it was in the interest of the country if she could ' 'please take this '

Update
Not just the one drug but 3 used to treat heart conditions

Diabolical

Apparently she fell several times during her performance today and has missed out on a medal

One feels that a 15 year old has had her reputation sacrificed for the Russian sports vanity project

Poor girl
