Silver medalist of the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships Alena Leonova in an interview “Sports every day” He stated that Kamila Valieva, who was disqualified for using a banned substance, will regain her competitive form in a short time and can return to training after the break.
In his opinion, the only question remains only the desire of the athlete.
“If he has a great desire, he will return quickly. There is a saying: “Legs remember.” “It will not be difficult to get in shape in such a center, with such experts,” said Leonova.
On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) found Valieva guilty of doping and disqualified the athlete for four years. He will not be able to compete in tournaments until December 2025.
On February 7, CAS published its reasoning. The Russian side claimed that the banned substance entered Valieva’s body as a result of eating the dessert prepared by her grandfather. The figure skater was deprived of gold medals at the Russian Championship and the European Championship.
