@canefan I've been conditioned by the Hot chicks thread to click on those links and go to instagram pages so was kind of disappointed with these pics. But still, cheers for posting them.

Full time athletes part time fluff. I am sure there are better girls if you trawl the net. Shame RL isn't here to grade their eyebrows

Opps, I wasn't clear with my sentence, I wasn't disappointed in the girls in the pics, but was disappointed they didn't open to insta pages.

Sky is blue, sea is green, Russians are doping.

Edit (here is an article). The news here were saying that as the person supposedly involved is 15, the rules might not apply to her.

Edit edit (From Forbes), it seems that if it is the young girl, that she just can't be named. But, I guess that means she can have her medal removed?

SURPRISING FACT
Athletes under the age of 16 are considered a “Protected Person,” according to the World Anti Doping Agency code, meaning officials cannot formally identify a competitor who is guilty of a doping violation if they are under the age of 16.

Edit edit edit (from dailybeast, I removed her name just in case):

The failed drug test makes it all but certain that the Russians will be stripped of their gold medal, which would go instead to their American rivals.

But V%$#"’s age is a complicating factor because, under WADA rules, she is considered a “protected person” as she is under 16, which means that she cannot be held responsible for substances found in her doping samples and should not even be publicly named as a suspect.

That might explain why, when asked earlier Wednesday about the delayed ceremony, IOC spokesman Mark Adams portrayed it as primarily a “legal” issue that needed to be sorted out.
