Honored coach Tatyana Tarasova spoke about her concerns about the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, which is being considered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). His words lead the way “Match TV”.
“I am very worried about Kamila, I hope this whole story will end and the great hatred that has now come to our country will not fall on the innocent girl. This is what I want most,” said Tarasova.
The day after the Russian national team won the team tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games together with Valieva, it was learned that traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the doping test of student Eteri Tutberidze. The awards ceremony was postponed and no medals were awarded for the tournament due to the investigation.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport held an on-site meeting and then allowed Valieva to participate in the individual tournament, with the condition that the award ceremony would not take place if the skater won a medal. Valieva took the lead after the short program, but made a number of serious mistakes in the free skate, which ultimately allowed her to take fourth place.
The first hearings of the Valieva case at CAS took place first in September and then in November. The decision is expected to be announced on January 29.
