The answer is yes, it happens in figure skating too (Kamila Valieva was 15 when she was tested positive)

[Signe_x]

The fact the some kids go through this is sad

[jazzycat]

The abuse of gymnasts and figure skaters by coaches and parents is HORRIFIC. Those sports have become so visciously competative and so physically grueling that if you haven't made it to the top by age 15 you are screwed, meaning all these literal children are being pushed beyond the limits of what a child's body is supposed to bear either by way of excessive training or illegal drugs or both.

[Hulachowdown]

Parents and coaches will do anything to have their kids win. The kids don’t know any better so they do what they are told

[eggy]

Yep, especially if the coach tells the kids they are vitamins supplements.

Who else grabbed their shoulder when they removed the ice pack?

[ameliaflynnhayes]

I was worried for her when I saw her bone like that.

[abigailfurminger]

I'm fine with blood, but bones gross me out.

[jenifabanda]

This is the reason why I love Chicago 🔥❤

[sauyix]

My guy left one arm white and the other orange

[hannahrobinson]

I don’t she’ll be competing any time soon. Or ever…

[ChristineTheHippie]

I can't help but think of Kamila Valieva

[YourgirlAnnabelle]

Shows how bad and competitive some people are poor girl got drugged by her own coach

[Luna_moon_]

Some kids are the one who want the meds but sometimes it the parents

[Ur_adhd-gurly]

I love how they put Chicago fire and Chicago med

[P]

I am not one to gossip lol but my brother told me that to get on National Team for track and field you have to take steroids, if you don't the coaches won't work with you. This was back in the early 90's. So yeah doping goes on...

[michaelisno]

the coach has one tanned and one untanned arm?

[jaimeduncan]

I knew that: 1. She was correct and the girl was taking PED, 2. I knew the mother was innocent, 3. I knew it was the male trainer (I did not get that the dude close to her was her trainer), all based on the idea that it's a feminist plot: 100% new gender stereotypes.

[brookeferguson]

I got mine it was positive and negative about my pregnancy and my period pain is so hard for me for now

[venomousbunny]

What if it turned out he wasn't giving her steroids but something to knock her out so he could do unspeakable things to her
