RUSADA called the warning a reasonable punishment for Valieva
“If we are talking about case law, then everything should be decided in favor of Valieva. There have been cases of athletes being acquitted in such situations. Even our athletes were acquitted. If there was no policy, this question would be closed at the federation. There are many cases with microdoses that people are not even aware of. Everything has been decided in the federations.
On the program, the victory of the Russian team at the Olympic Games. The following teams are very eager to get a medal. We understand that if there had been any questions for Valieva, she wouldn’t have been put in the squad. But they deliberately held out until the team had already played. There is commitment to this business from start to finish. We would have won the Olympics anyway. We have very strong girls, Valieva could be replaced by another athlete. For me, these are speculations on the subject,” Gazeta.Ru quoted Zhurova as saying.
