That would prove that skating relies on performance acting. Smile while you skate. Smile after you finish. At this point those two are just actors on TV.
this is a yes and no answer. there are more than one ways to calibrate a cat!
You do it in accordance with manuf recommendations to start with; that is essentially permission to turn it on and use it.
Then you calibrate it in accordance with procedures that the machine is compatible with. This woud be your iso 17025 / wada acknowledgement.
then, if you are using it for research etc, you can mess about with the machien to your hearts content and draw up your own procedures and calibration procedures / curves etc to go further, but this is normalllly unreasnoably expensive.
to go back to the gps; most watches are self calibrating to the limits needed (they turn on and receive a signal, perform calcs and give answers, with error checks which will throw out a generic error if not working).
However, if you really want, you can use a gps manufacturers stated '3m' or similar accuracy and start really playing with it. Many people think if you measure twice (at 3m accuracy) divide by 2, you will get 1.5m accuracy. this is between bullpoo and naivety, however there are highly complex statistical analysises that can be done with massive numbers of readings (monte carlo nonsense etc) which can be shown to give results better than 3m - however the cost is axttravagant and you may as well use a better way in the first place. Not a fan of them myself. Normally more bamboozle than fact. and a gift for consultancy fee justification. ooops.
gold medal athlete. 15 yrs old. ex US coach. on 3 heart meds. she and her three fellow stable mates are the only ones to do the quad.
so, other actors; her, her stable mates, her parents, the coaches and support staff, general approach and ethics of any high level sporting nation; us, uk, norway, china, france etc etc
Look, she is taking the mick with TUEs and then micro dosing. she screwed up the micro dosing TMZ due to an unexpected and so far 'unexplained' sensitivity in the test or timing in the micro dosing.

And what TUE’s are you aware of?
And a 15 year old capable of working out micro dosing ?
And all three taking all the effort on a minor enhancer?
Robin Cousins said he saw loads of 10 yr olds getting trained to do quads.
Coach, trainers, support staff. Are you not familiar with how doping in sports often works?
Yes, but wanted to know from the great educator if the Russian authorities were part of it.
And do you think that her consent was freely given or given under duress?
Win at all costs. We are at least partially products of our environment. If your only goal in the world is to win a medal and someone offers you a shortcut which the people you trust think is ok to take… most people are going to take it. It is way less likely she was doped without her knowledge. Even less likely grandpa somehow is responsible for a positive.

Russia had (has?) state sponsored systematic doping programs. The players and culture around that doesn’t just disappear overnight. Same players, coaches, support staff as before. From the very top the message was our bad, wink-wink. (Sorry we got caught, not sorry we did it)
To think at a very minimum they didn’t want to cover this up is very naive.

But the Russian authorities part of the plot?
I never said they wanted to cover it up.
I wouldn’t rule it out. At a minimum they wanted to cover this up. Then you have everything from helping athletes beat tests if they chose to dope, to advising them on the best drugs, to providing product. It is not clear that happened, but is not obvious it didn’t based on the history. As far as Russian authorities forcing her to dope, that seems unlikely to me.
As far as other sports, there are an unusually large number of ROC athletes having success in endurance sports this Winter Olympics. At a minimum it is suspicious.

What evidence that they wanted to cover it up?
Never suggested the authorities forced her.
Dont think Russian success is unusually high; evidence?
So you can't even read a dictionary. Under the definition of "endemic" the Merriam-Webster dictionary explicitly refers to "prevalent". And, yes, "particular" may refer to a country - like Russia - or a sport - like running.
If you are brainworthy you would have read that I said that the post in question by me was to be ignored.
That might be true elsewhere. But on this thread, and at this moment, we're just trying to figure out if she really is a doper.
Correct; and CAS has yet to decide except that she was badly served by Wada.
Perhaps Armstrong could deal with the CAS decision.
CAS hasn't said she isn't a doper. They have said she wasn't given enough time by the authorities to respond to the test finding, which is a procedural point that only delays a finding of doping. She will be found a doper, just like Houlihan was, because she, too, won't come up with any better excuse. "Grandad's medication" won't cut it, any more than a pork burrito did for Houlihan.

You assume that she will be found guilty and dismiss the significant point the the drug does seem to be in the household unlike Houlihan.
Nobody likes the grandfather explanation. But the TMZ doping theory doesn't make much sense either. TMZ requires repeated and regular use to take effect, she previously tested negative on many occasions, the levels in her sample were 500-5000 times lower than legit TMZ users, and it's unclear if TMZ would even help a figure skater.
But, TMZ was found in her sample so it has to be explained.
Given all the above, if she can document that her grandfather was indeed taking TMZ and TMZ was indeed in her household, the CAS has plenty of grounds to rule that was the most likely explanation.

Rusada holds the next hearing not CAS.
The overriding principles of justice trumping Wada is a fascinating view.
We may also be left with the victim of child abuse being penalised. Just heard Greg Rutherford saying she is a victim of child abuse.
