#Tsimanouskaya
So on 30 July 2021, Belarusian sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya *criticizes the board* to extent of "WHY are they having me enter the 4x400m relay, I've NEVER done this, it's because the Belarusian Olympic Committee didn't whiz-quiz the other three and they got disqualified, isn't it?"

Now, this was at the start of the Tokyo Olympics. The Belarus coach literally tried to have her forcibly sent *BACK* to Belarus

On the way to the airport, Tsimanouskaya gets a call from Baba of "DO NOT GO BACK TO BELARUS, THEY WILL DISAPPEAR YOU IN A PSYCH WARD FOREVER"

That's fair. I only know them from a few headline grabbing incidents and none of them made CAS look good.

Specifically, I'm thinking Caster Semenya, Kristina Tsimanouskaya, The Russian doping scandal, and now the gymnastics thing.

They all make CAS look pretty terrible to me.
