    Agree with the other guy Very absurd and bad rules. She was in right limit during her silver fight so she should get the medal too.

    She was fighting for so much. Brave lady.

      Nope. Cheating by withdrawing blood to make the weigh-in is an automatic DQ and had she won a medal before they found out then it would have been stripped. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has strict rules against blood manipulation. Any action that involves the withdrawal and re-infusion of blood, even if it’s the athlete’s own, falls under blood doping.

      Bad take. The rules are in place to prevent the exact situation she found herself in. She was in the wrong weight class and had really bad support from her trainers.
