If any Russian skater were found to be doping, it would constitute a major blow to the IOC and the gold medal could also be handed to the United States
Reports emerged from the Beijing Winter Olympics today that a Russian figure skater has failed a drug test, potentially handing the gold medal won by the Russians in the figure skating team event to their U.S. rivals.
After taking to the ice for the informal “flower ceremony,” they were meant to be formally awarded their gold medals that night, with Nathan Chen and the Americans to get silver medals and the Japanese team bronze. But the ceremony was postponed for 24 hours without any explanation—and then postponed again, indefinitely, on Tuesday night.
Kondratiuk’s coach, Svetlana Sokolovskaya, was quoted on the Telegram app saying: “He had a day off so he decided to give training a miss. Everything is fine. We're ready for the free skating.” The Olympic news website Inside the Games, reporting on what it called a “Russian doping mystery,” said it understood “a situation involving Russian Olympic Committee and the international doping authorities” was behind the delay.In a later report, citing an anonymous source “with knowledge of the situation,”said the ceremony had been “delayed by the positive drug test of one member of the gold-medal-winning Russian team.
