Tarasova – about the case of Valieva: “We do not lie and do not invent”

Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova spoke about the case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is calling for the skater’s suspension, despite the fact that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) has declared her innocent of violating anti-doping rules.

“I think that Camila is absolutely not guilty. There must also be serious people who defend her interests, the interests of the country. We are absolutely right, we are not lying, we are not inventing .”

Tarasova at WADA’s request to suspend Valieva for four years: “The sick!”

There is always a chance. You may be in last place in the short program, but still have a chance of winning the competition. You can skate so that in the end you are the first. We know how to do it, but there are people who know how to do something else. Does anyone know how to defend (interests), in English?” Tarasova is quoted by Match TV.
