The head of Russia’s curling federation suggested Krushelnitckii had food or drink spiked with the drug, possibly by Russia’s political enemies.

Of course scandals like this are nothing new in curling. Last year at the Tournament of Hearts the Skip of the Manitoba team was busted for having a blood-alcohol level under .12. The sport still hasn’t recovered.

I’ve always hated the anti-Danica circlejerk about how getting caught in wrecks was her own fault for not being a better driver. Generally speaking, the argument is crap.

-well it still drives!

how do you know he hadn’t done that privately with the person in question

wait so, what was he supposed to do? like after the lawsuit was settled was he just supposed to stop snowboarding forever and go live in a cabin in the woods or

What’s left unanswered and even unasked in this article is what should have happened?

Yea, I honestly figured that even on vacation, he would still be wearing his sleeveless hoodie and some Velcro Sketchers or some shit because he “works too hard to have time to tie shoes” or some shit like that.

Whaaa? It’s more than a little weird that a competition whose key appeal is the national pride inherent in cheering on athletes precisely because they share your nationality would have a rule saying you can’t have displays of nationalism.
