Was #japan #gymnast Shoko Miyata backstabbed her her own teammate? #japanese #olympics #gymnastics

Actions have consequences

First, I would say they have to prove it. If they can't prove it, then how do you know the teammate isn't lying?
Second, yes, they would have to compete with fewer people, bringing more shame onto the person to break their strict laws. This would ensure that the future athletes do not get tempted, as there would now be an example.
If it comes out that she was not drinking nor smoking, the liar should be barred from the competition and held liable for slander.

Integrity is very important, if you are trying to cheat the system for your own benefit, than your dishonesty brings shame not only to your self, but to your family as well. If by doing so, you don not think of consequences, than most likely you will try to cheat further in life on Olympic level, thus bringing shame not only to the entire team, but also to entire athletic program of your country. Japanese are very disciplined people, honor, integrity and honesty is the code with which every child is raised. If Japanese athletic committee suspended this girl, that means investigation was performed and evidence of her breaking the law, were found. There fore this verdict is justified. However if this girl's team mate snitched, than this decision was based on her principals and core believes. She knew the risks and possible consequences of her actions and yet she proceeded with it. It is not our right to judge her, nor saying anything against her actions. We can not condemn people if they acting according to their believes and standing up for national core values!

What the heck has drinking and smoking to do with the sport? Its their free time they can do whatever they like. If you look at the other nations or sports like cycling where every bloke injects some shit and no one cares. The whole system is rigged by pharma and other major companies. Who the fuck cares if she smokes or drinks???

Why can't I find video of the Japanese team's gymnastics?

Did she admit? Did they conduct a toxicology report? If it’s proven that’s the only reasonable response to her breaking the rule. But also who was the snitch in her camp?

Its illegal. You said legal.

This was so dumb. Smoking and drinking arent cheating. She shouldnt have done it because shes 19, but these small offenses should not be penalized more than a rapist is.

Suit the teammate good, 50% chances became 0% winning😂

She was in the wrong for breaking the rules she agreed to follow. It’s petty to be mad at the person who called for fairness.

They need to prove it. And not go off whar someone saw.

Meanwhile China can dope a whole team and say " it was the food" and nobody will be punished

I bet that the teammate is delighted to lose their gold medal

Japan has principles. I don’t see anything wrong with that and I smoked when I was 19.

😮

They don’t even know if the allegations are true

A country sent a convicted pedo, so what's wrong with sending a smoker and a drinker?

She should keep silent of her ambition until the D day. Its probably a conspiracy that will forever be silent until history discovered it later...

That's the most Japanese thing to do. They can't avoid reporting her, as they have to follow the rules.

You can Tell Someone was "JEALOUS JEALOUS" of the captain ❤😂

Japan might be TOO honorable

F around and find out. Captain of the national team and doesn't know responsibility.

let's be real here japan is too strict and everyone in that society suffers because of it

It's a crazy rule but it's a rule that she knew about

Rules are rules but come on..
