“Questions may arise if Kisel continues to work in Plushenko’s Angels” – BNADA on skater’s disqualification

The Belarusian National Anti-Doping Agency (BNADA) has told that figure skater Varvara Kisel is unlikely to be able to continue training at Plushenko’s Angels.

Varvara Kisel worked in the Plushenko Angels group. The 16-year-old once played for Russia, since the 2020/21 season she represents Belarus. Earlier it was learned that the banned drug furosemide was found in the skater’s samples. The exclusion period is two years.

– The Plushenko Angels ice is private, is there a chance for Varvara to continue training there?

– There may be questions. There is such an article “prohibited cooperation”. Coaches who are in the federation system, [с дисквалифицированными] can’t work. If there are national team athletes, they can certainly show prohibited cooperation, BNADA told .
