Column: Time to make Russians pay for Olympic doping
There are really only two possible explanations why two members of the Russian women’s hockey team at the Sochi Olympics had urine samples that contained male DNA.
One, there were men inside those baggy uniforms of a team that won its first three games before losing in the quarterfinals. Two, someone was messing with the samples.
It’s a bit easier to figure out why eight other Russian athlete samples in Sochi had salt content that was physiologically impossible in a healthy human.
