Lilly King just dropped the hammer on Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova for failing drug tests but still getting to race at the Rio Olympics.
According to the LA Times:
Efimova, 24, previously served a 16-month suspension for doping and earlier this year failed a test for meldonium, a banned substance, though the result was overturned.
“I don’t know what to do,” she said after recording the second-fastest preliminary time. “It was crazy the last year and a half. I didn’t understand what was going on. I’m just happy to be here and ready to race.”
Efimova declined to answer further questions.
This is an old fashioned Cold War situation that’s developing at the Rio Games. I like it. Now we need Trump to get involved.
