The victory of Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova sparked allegations of unfair judging and claims that the gold medal was stolen. Nearly a decade later, Sotnikova’s shocking admission of a positive doping test during the Games has added another layer of controversy to the event.

The Contentious Competition and Allegations of Bias

The figure skating event in Sochi showcased a fierce battle between Kim Yuna and Adelina Sotnikova. While Kim Yuna’s artistry and execution were widely acclaimed, Sotnikova’s technically challenging routine secured her the gold medal. However, the judging panel’s composition, with judges from former Soviet bloc nations, raised concerns about potential bias favoring the Russian skater. The controversy surrounding the result ignited a heated debate over the transparency and objectivity of the judging process.

Sotnikova’s Doping Admission and Outrage

Years later, on July 6, 2023, Adelina Sotnikova publicly admitted on a YouTube channel that she had tested positive during a doping test conducted at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Her revelation drew intense scrutiny and reignited the frustrations felt by Kim Yuna’s fans, who believed their idol had been robbed off the gold medal. Outrage and demands for the return of the medal quickly spread, as supporters questioned the timing of Sotnikova’s admission and expressed anger over the alleged doping scandal that had marred the competition.

Some of the comments were particularly harsh, as can be seen below.

“Give it back.
Bruh, if that performance was her on drugs, the cost of those drugs went to waste.
Give it back.
What a thieving b*tch. I remember that day clearly. Our entire family set our alarms to watch God Yuna’s match. We really clapped at her clean execution. I’m still mad that that moth-like b*tch got the gold.
But she was so f*cking bad. Give back the medal, you moth.
Give it back.
If she was going to pull off a scam, she should’ve kept her mouth shut until the end. What is she playing at? If it’s an admission out of guilt, then she should’ve done it at the Olympics. This is so cowardly of an Olympian.” sparked allegations of unfair judging and claims that the gold medal was stolen.

The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics figure skating competition continues to be a subject of controversy, exacerbated by Adelina Sotnikova’s admission of a positive doping test nearly a decade later.
