Valieva’s doping story makes perfect sense if you’ve never trained seriously. So what actually happened?
A minimal amount of trimetazidine was found in her sample. It is a substance that can potentially increase endurance. Tennis player Jannik Sinner tested positive for a banned substance. A horse ridden by a Swiss athlete also tested positive. That is why commissions exist. They decide whether a disqualification is justified.
In Sinner’s case, the explanation was that the substance entered his system through a massage treatment. Fine, it happens. In the German rider’s case, wait for it, the story was that a driver who had been taking the substance basically pissed it into the hay and that is how it got into the horse. Cleared.
In Valieva’s case, despite the extremely minimal amount detected, similar in scale to Sinner’s, and despite the fact that it does not improve jumps, she received the longest ban.
Try it yourself. First spin in the air or run without coffee. Then drink coffee and do it again. Did you run with more energy? Maybe. Did your rotations suddenly get better? No.
Figure skating is not a cyclical endurance sport like triathlon. Jumps require coordination, technique, control of the vertical axis, and natural rotational ability. If you do not have an axis, no matter how much energy you have, you will simply be thrown off to the side.
If you try to jump 100 times hoping to improve them, bad news. You will just lock in your mistakes.
Valieva also has artistry. That does not mean smiling. It is work through the torso, arms, back, plus clean lines and turnout. When we talk about line, we mean geometry. The relationship between arms, legs, hands, and head. Straight knees, pointed feet, extended fingers, fully finished positions. All these body parts work together to express an image, passion, sadness, joy, innocence.
Valieva had preparatory ballet training. That creates a completely different level of expressiveness. The ability to control the torso also gives more control in technique and helps with technical elements. What we see on the ice is a full package built through work in every direction.
So this whole PR campaign, which I am sure is paid for, selling the idea that smiling on the ice is the standard of “proper” skating, is a substitution of concepts. Guys, Alysa scored fewer points than the bronze medalist of the previous Olympic Games. Who are they trying to fool? Stories for naive people about how she did not need the gold medal do not match the millions and the photo sessions with that medal. Did not need it? Then give it to the one who was crying.
Their claims go as following: Why chase new records? Why stretch your back and legs, why spend years in ballet training? None of that is necessary because we cannot do it. We can smile. So that must be the “right” approach to sport.
But that’s an absurd.
Another fact that Alysa is half Chinese, and that in men’s skating the American Malinin, who is ethnically Russian (and a brilliant skater), was supposed to win, only adds more questions.
So yes, endless manipulation, propaganda, PR campaigns, smear campaigns, corruption in sports, the arts, and beyond, this is also a war on an invisible front.
Be informed and do not fall for it.
