If it's determined that Russia violated anti-doping rules, Team USA could be bumped up to gold medalists.
Figure skater Vincent Zhou trained his entire life to earn an Olympic medal, a goal he achieved at the 2022 Beijing Olympics when the United States placed silver in the team competition.
“While the medals themselves are missing, it’s representative of a bigger issue, the issue on how doping impacts clean sport and the Olympics,” Zhou said in a recent interview.led the Russian Olympic Committee to victory in the event with an awe-inspiring performance as she became the first woman to land quadruple jumps in Olympic competition.
“The worst-case scenario is sending an athlete who has a pending positive to a major international competition.” The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which settles international sporting disputes. Depending on the outcome, the results of the team figure skating event could change.
“As a coach, I want accountability, and there hasn’t been any and that’s what’s so frustrating and not fair,” he said, adding that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has a zero-tolerance policy and the right to test their athletes at all times, 24-hours a day.
