The Belarusian who was stripped of her gold medal for doping has over the last 24 hours made several outrageous claims.
Nadzeya Ostapchuk cheated her way to gold, and now she's accusing Adams of the same.
On a Belarusian track and field website, she unleashed conspiracy theory one.
"I think Valerie behaves unsportswomanlike," says Ostapchuk. "She was not even in the starting line up before the games because she's had a positive drug test in 2005.
"I am being covered in dirt but someone else comes out all clean."
The claim is false.
Then comes conspiracy theory two: she claims doping was the real reason Adams was left off the start list, not an administrative error.
"When there are rumours then most likely it means Valerie had some problems," says Ostapchuk. "Therefore what Adams says now about me is a joke. We will see how all of this will end, including for her."
Adams' manager Nick Cowan says the claims are complete rubbish, calling them "ridiculous" and "absurd".
"Let's make it absolutely clear – Drug-Free Sport New Zealand says Adams has never tested positive, never even been accused of doping, and the IAAF the Athletics Federation have tested and found her clean throughout her career," says Cowan.
"Sorry, Nadzeya."
Ostapchuk has another conspiracy theory too: she say she's been framed by her former coach Anatoly Baduyev.
Belarusian media are reporting he has been arrested for extorting money from coaches and athletes by blackmailing and threatening them to fix their tests, so they come out positive.
And the head of the Belarusian anti-doping agency says traces of the drug metenelone found in Ostapchuk's system doesn't automatically mean she's a cheat.
"All doping substances are used as medicine," he says. "It's not like arsenic, it's not like poison. That means doping could become a medicine and unfortunately it's often found in nutritional supplements too, so we can't rule this out either."
It seems there's nothing the Belarusian Olympic team won't say to hang on to Ostapchuk's medal.
