Sambo-70 President Renat Laishev said figure skater Kamila Valieva was bullied during the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. His words guide the way “Tatar-Information”.
“So much time has passed that it can be said that Tutberidze and Valieva have already won. This delay in the case means that the other side no longer knows what else to find, what to throw at Valieva to punish us,” Laishev said.
A doping scandal broke out around Kamila Valieva during the 2022 Olympics. A banned substance was found in the sample taken by the athlete in December 2021. They wanted to disqualify him from participating in the Games. Literally the day before the start of the women’s individual competition, it was decided to admit her to the tournament, where she finished fourth.
Valieva’s case is being considered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), new hearings will be held on 9 and 10 November. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) requests that the athlete be disqualified for four years; If the decision is positive, the Russian team may lose the medal in the team tournament in which Valieva participates.
Formerly Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin named Irina Rodnina’s words regarding the case of figure skater Valieva are unacceptable.
