Prison Guards in Siberia, Russia, are reporting that American prisoner "Britney" Griner, the US Women's Basketball star, is actually a man.
This American has become regular news recently as Russia and the USA negotiate prisoner exchanges.
A Russian court sentenced WNBA star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison earlier this month, an expected conclusion to her trial that should allow negotiations for a prisoner swap to accelerate.
Griner, who was arrested Feb. 17 for bringing cannabis into the country, had been prepared for a harsh sentence, sources close to the player said. But she and her supporters have also been aware that Russia was not going to move forward with a trade that could bring her home until her trial was completed. A guilty verdict was considered a foregone conclusion, and Griner pleaded guilty July 7, though the case continued under Russian law.
During sentencing, Judge Anna Sotnikova said she had found that Griner intentionally broke the law and also fined her 1 million rubles (about $16,700). Sotnikova said the time Griner has served in custody since her arrest in February would count toward the sentence.
Griner reacted to the sentence with little emotion, listening to the verdict with a blank stare on her face.
The "woman's Basketball" star received a harsh sentence because Russia doesn't tolerate illegal drugs.
Photos are also circulating claiming to show Griner without a shirt, and the tattoos of the man in the image seem to match those visible when Griner played basketball for the women's team.
The images are going viral on Social Media:

Im about done hearing about “poor little Britney”
I don't see the emperor's new clothes either.
Both require a dangerous lack of discernment.
Like I said, sorry to burst your bubble.
*Source…my dad was pro-boxing/semi-pro baseball, one brother coached college baseball, one brother competed (nationally) sho do kan karate, my nephews were martial arts/MMA ( they have appeared on ESPN as part of fight team/corner man ).The stories they told were eye opening and disappointing. They all eventually moved on to other careers.
I did not go into sports but I did become involved with pro music/theatre as a technical….saw firsthand some of the “arrangements “.
Few years back, maybe 10 or so, NFL got caught rigging the Super Bowl teams by screwing over somebody-I forget-in order to get Seattle a shot…I gave up on pro ball in November of 1984: NO Saints had their first ever chance at a play off slot after years of dismal failures,4th 1/4 the worms were 4 touchdowns ahead….”We going all the way” was what everybody who was a fan was saying…Assholes lost…I knew then it was rigged and I just happened to catch that Seattle grib….Im done for another 40 yrs
25%? Moar?
Heinz 57 is a synecdoche of the historical advertising slogan "57 Varieties" by the H. J. Heinz Company located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It was developed from the marketing campaign that told consumers about the numerous products available from the Heinz company.-Wiki
somebody please get thru to Hal...
Is there anything to suggest that the person has male genitalia? Without that, to report that Griner is a man is fake news and possibly libel.
be a worse crime in Russia than
mere possession of Marijuana?
It's false display. Deciet.
Impersonating a woman.
That sounds like a crime to me.
The LBGQ crowd would go crazy.
I'M A REAL BOY! I'M A REAL BOY

In this case it seams being locked up in Russia is far better for his eternal soul than the mind twisted chains of darkness being mandated back home as "woke" freedom now in America.
Note: we need to send our " woke" affected military over there to be treated as well.
While Vodka is legal, 9 years for a non violent crime?
My view of Russia as a civilized country that recognizes God given rights has changed.
Perhaps the Russians didn't throw off tyrannical government after all. I guess a people ignorant in freedom have a hard time in demanding it.
How many people from the rest of the planet are in jail right now in usa because of weed? If a Russian got nabbed with weed in his possesion he would get 50 years for it. Since the 1950s hundreds of people have been sentenced to harsh sentences for small amounts of weed in usa. Paybacks are a bitch. Russia needs a few pawns to trade with. This unit here is a perfect candidate. And now we know for sure this thing is like big mike it just makes it hilarious too. The harsh sentence is deserved for the crime it was found guilty of. Nobody has the God given right to smuggle weed across the border.
Is the whole WBA league a FRAUD? Asking for a friend. Wait a minute, does this mean the MBA has to take over begging for his release?
I caught my breath, read what I wrote and broke out laughing again. What a shitshow!
Out to the garden with a smile on my face.
Now too the garden.
You get arrested, isn’t the first thing the cops do is search you, including the groin area?
Seems to me this would’ve been known and talked about the minute the cuffs got slapped on.
Homos hate women, which is why they mock them and compete against them.
Worthless POS.
