Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who was disqualified for violating anti-doping rules, said that sacrifices must be made to get a medal in sports. His words lead the way RIA News.
“We also represent the country in competitions. This is a high price that requires a high price. I liken it to passing the Unified State Exam: I need to learn English, I have four months, and now I understand that it is better for me to study every evening, so that later I can do everything calmly I can get through somehow,” Valieva said.
In January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified Kamila Valieva for anti-doping rule violations. The skater was suspended for four years, effective from December 2021, and was stripped of all awards won during that period.
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.
After the disqualification, the International Skating Union (ISU) awarded the Russians third place in the team tournament of the 2022 Olympic Games, without depriving Russia as a whole of the medal. Gold went to the US team and silver went to the Japanese team.
