It's important to note the reason all this kicked off is a Russian boxing organization (that let her fight multiple times) disqualified her after she beat an undefeated rising Russian star, and won't disclose what test they accuse her of failing.
But they have said it wasn't the testosterone test.
So it's not surprising Republicans immediately ran with it
The tests and results are confidential. Stop making a Russian conspiracy out of this. Lame and boring.
Confidential and yet they blasted it all over the world?
They were mentioned in an interview. People say things they shouldnt all the time.
Conspiracy theories are the best way to make yourself look silly.
Confidential eh?
Do you know that conspiracy means: a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful
If she's not of issue and they're keeping the results secret/confidential, that's a valid conspiracy theory.
Put yourself in her or her coach's place?
It's silly to out of all possible options to what has happened, to take exactly the one you can use for your rallying cry.
Not to mention no one is saying this, she isn't, her coach isn't, not even the media is. Nobody that matters. Only some online warriors.
I'm done. This is not worth my time. If you want to believe go ahead, but you know what they say: nobody believes only one conspiracy theory. Bye.
They also say that no conspiracy theories are ever true.
