    A Russian bronze medalist has reportedly left the Olympic village and surrendered his accreditation after failing a drug test at the Pyeongchang Winter Games in South Korea.

    Curler Alexander Krushelnitsky, who won bronze with his wife in mixed doubles last week, is suspected of testing positive for the banned substance meldonium, a source at the Games told Reuters news agency on Sunday.

    The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) opened a case against the Russian athlete after a request from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

    Krushelnitsky is awaiting the results of a second sample, which will determine whether he used the substance that increases blood flow and improves exercise capacity in athletes.

    IMHO I think you need to take drugs to even watch curling never mind play it.

    Apart from the snowboarding most of the other events are ****e. Ice hockey's okay, I suppose. Curling is for the old ****s who like bowling.

    Dafties getting excited because a Brit won a medal in fancy sledging <doh>

    Not that keen on bowling but I do like the curling. The snowboarding and freestyle skiing has been superb, the downhill, slalom, ski jumping and most of the rest of the sports leave me cold.

    The wimmins skeleton was very entertaining. Two Brits, one Austrian, and two Germans all in the mix for medals during the final run.

    Drama. I liked it.

    Did the Scottish, sorry, British women beat Japan at the curling this morning? I watched it for what seemed like nine hours but had to leave for work.

    I don't really care. I was just making the point that it was very boring. Would have watched Babestation but there was no decent fanny on it this morning.

    you should try Chaturbate instead, fanny galore on there or pooves & trannies if that is more your sort of thing.

    When you guys were kids, did you used to that thing where you would run and then slide across an icy puddle (normally in the school playground)? I was a master at that daring do, my arms taut with perpendicular majesty, my Kickers acting as miniature faux-leather toboggans as I glided across the frozen netball court.

    The art of sliding should become an Olympic sport.
