The Olympic Gold Medalist is now serving a 4 year ban for using EPO. I won Bronze that day. She tested positive in 2017 so Rio results still stand. Sometimes if a performance seems too good to be true, it is. My Bronze will shine brighter than her Gold.

Lies to investigators. Leaves the room, learns that the facts are out and they know he’s lying so he comes back with ‘it’s all coming back to me’ to try to save himself. Why anyone would choose to cheer for this person is beyond me.
