Alexander Yablunovsky, lieutenant colonel sports doctor of the health service, commented on the information that Roman Kostomarov was diagnosed with the flu virus or coronavirus, which aggravates the health of the skater. The words of an expert lead “KP Sports”.
According to Yablunovsky, some viruses are constantly in the human body and can only appear when the immune system is weakened. However, some viruses are completely alien to humans and can significantly harm their health.
According to the doctor, if Kostomarov really caught the flu or coronavirus, this indicates that the athlete’s immunity is already significantly weakened.
“You can get an infection that isn’t usually seen in a healthy person. For example, the coronavirus. So normally this bacterial or viral infection shouldn’t exist in the body. In other cases, we also carry these viruses,” said Yablunovsky. Now we’re going to wear the coronavirus.
It will sit quietly in the body of people with good immunity. For some reason, viruses are waiting for our immune system to weaken and they start to multiply by activating.”
Previously the doctor called Kostomarov’s age “critical” for serious loads. Figure skater 46 years old.
