I admit I know next to nothing about basketball, a sport that I find uninteresting. The link below is to an article about Britney Griner, and makes some fair comment about the status of women Basketball players in the US and the vast difference in the money they make compared with the men.
What the article does not do, is ask the most obvious question -why did this woman transport dope in her luggage when entering Russia, as in, is she really that stupid? It would seem so. And after all the years she has been playing in Russia has she never met someone who can supply her with dope as and when she needs it? In a country awash with narcotics of every description and some Ms Griner has never heard of or tried?
So yes, it is a grim situation to be in, and I hope she gets let off, but not a trade with a nasty man like Bout. But given the times we are in, she is hardly an innocent lamb abroad.
