Same name; different sport!

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

An Alexandra Stepanova who represented Russia was stripped of her medals due to a doping violation but it was NOT the ice dancer with whom we are familiar!

I understand that the media reports referenced were in at least a couple of European countries.
