South Korea Asks IOC to Reinvestigate Russian Figure Skater for Doping During 2014 Winter Olympics

Considering how corrupt the IOC is I doubt Kim Yuna will be upgraded to a gold medal:

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) said Tuesday it will ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to reinvestigate the results of the women’s figure skating final at the 2014 Sochi Olympics after gold medalist Adelina Sotnikova recently admitted failing an initial doping test that year.  
   
Korean figure skater Kim Yuna took silver in the event after finishing second. If a review of Sotnikova’s 2014 tests were to go ahead and she was to test positive, the IOC could opt to eliminate her and elevate Kim to the gold medal spot.  
   
The decision to appeal comes after Sotnikova told a Russian YouTube channel that she failed a drug test in 2014, but was cleared after providing a second sample. Clearing an athlete based solely on a second sample is considered highly irregular.

You can read more at the link, but the judges from the competition were suspected of being corrupt as well. If you haven’t already I recommend watching on Netflix the show Icarus that goes into detail how the Russians cheated during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Russian/Soviet or Eastern Bloc judges at the Olympics cheating?

Who could imagine that?

So it seems the pro-Russian setnaffa has no qualms about the Russians stealing the gold medal from Kim Yuna.
