Valieva's clearance is 'slap in the face' to clean athletes, Rippon says

BEIJING, China –

Rippon said Valieva, who is the first woman to land quadruple jumps at the Olympics, must be going through what he said was a “traumatizing” experience. Instead of representing Russia, athletes are competing as representatives of the Russian Olympic Committee under the acronym “ROC”. Russia has faced similar restrictions at previous Olympics because of doping offenses.

“All of these athletes worked their entire lives to make it to the Olympic Games and the only thing they’re being asked about is somebody… who had a failed doping test,” he said. “How is that fair?” The doping case of American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who missed the Tokyo Olympics due to a one-month ban, is different from that of Valieva, the International Olympic Committee said on Wednesday.

“Her results came in early order for USADA to deal with the case on time, before the Games. Ms Richardson accepted a one month period of ineligibility which began on June 28.”Richardson was expected to be one of the biggest draws in Tokyo after winning the 100 meters at the US trials. She later said her action to consume cannabis was the result of mourning the death of her mother.
