there s been, i think, an appropriate outpouring of sympathy for her on social justice. and i think that she deserves the presumption of innocence. the problem is that this isn t exactly a cold trail for investigators who are going to start an investigation. the doctor that is assigned to the women s skating team is someone who has a disciplinary history for doping. he was removed from the russian rowing team for a three-year period for anti-doping violations. the coach is someone who is very close to all of the high-level government officials, including deputy prime minister mutko and others who were central to the russian doping scheme in 2014 dearing the winter olympics. so it s very hard to give someone the presumption of innocence when there is so much history and evidence of russia s systematic doping. and you just gave us some great details about that history as it specifically pertains to
olympics for a doping scheme a few years ago. again, no word on when we could get an update from the ioc on what has halted this ceremony, but it is 5:50 in the morning in beijing, so hopefully we ll have answers soon. thank you so much. next hour of deadline white house with dr. jason johnson starts right after this quick break. jason johnson starts right after this quick starts right after this quick break. free yearly eye exams, designer frames and prescription lenses. take advantage now. wow! we need to reduce plastic waste in the environ . that s why at america s beverage companies, our bottles are made to be remade. not all plastic is the same. we re carefully designing our bottles to be 100% recyclable, including the caps. they re collected and separated from other plastics, so they can be turned back into material that we use to make new bottles. that completes the circle and reduces plastic waste.
this position. you have to look at the adults in her life, right? she is a minor. let s go back to 2014. russia just instigated a so-called doping scheme at the games. had the doping committee addressed this back then, is russia so emboldened by violating the rules? absolutely. time and time again, the ioc and the court of arbitrations have given russia a free pass. there is no need for cultural change. they will simply continue with business as usual. we put that on the organizations. the organizations i run now and the other independent athlete groups, we ve been calling for reforms for the past seven years of these organizations, to have a 50-50 partnership with athletes and sport to ensure this never happens again. like i said, it s politics over principle and who loses out in
liability. so you re always responsible for what goes in your system. if there was a mistake there is a potential reduction from a four-year to a two-year exemption. but the ultimate authority relies on themselves. and shame on these organizations for putting this young child in this position. you have to look at the adults in her life. she is a minor. let s go back to 2014. russia participated in a sophisticated state sponsored doping scheme at the sochi games. if the international olympic committee had dealt with this properly back then, would russia not feel as emboldened now as they do to keep violating the rules? absolutely. i mean, time and time again, wada, the ioc and the arbitration of support has given russia a free pass. so there is no need for cultural change. so they continue business as usual. and we put that on the organizations. the organization i run now, global athlete, and the other independent athlete groups,
the judging needs to change. it needs to become honest. you know, christine, russia was still allowed to participate even after being caught in a state-sponsored doping scheme in 2015. now we have a 15-year-old. found with three separate drugs in her system. should russia face consequences and even being kicked out of the olympics possibly? they sure should, don. people have been basically giving them a pass, the ioc people, time and again. they ve been stealing medals in some cases from clean athletes, and it continues. and then they kick the can down the road. what i would do is you have to basically say to russia you cannot appear, no athletes at the paris summer olympics in 2024, no athletes from russia at the milan winter olympics in 2026, and maybe even go to l.a. in 2028. it should be so severe because what they have done here is basically blow up the olympic games. they are detracting from everything else. it is the story that has
