Sotnikova said her comments about a positive doping test were distorted

Olympic figure skating champion Adeline Sotnikova said his words about a positive doping test were misunderstood, the information was distorted.

Sotnikova earlier in an interview with YouTube channel Tatarka FM said that in 2014 her doping test came back positive, but the skater was acquitted because the B test was negative.

– All last week, me, my team, people in my environment have received an enormous number of calls and messages in order to obtain comments on the suddenly inflated situation. And, of course, everyone expects official comments from me.

I understand that such news will always be quoted and gain a large number of views. But the media has already attributed to me that I admitted to using illegal drugs. Guys, you can’t do this.

Let’s start with a quote. “Even remembering 2014, when after a while they said they had found doping in me and I had to go to trial. But then they acquitted me…”The sentence” that you found doped. After this sentence, there are many valid options. From a confirmed dirty sample to an error in collection and a damaged tube, an anti-doping officer violation of sample collection protocol, transportation and sample storage.

When an athlete has problems with a sample and it is talked about, a thought rushes into his head (especially for someone who has not taken illegal drugs) – where, what kind of doping was found ? And panic: “Ah, I have dope?!”

This block remains for a long time. And when we talk about it, and in passing, we say it: “They told me that they had found doping on me.” Yes, they said. But it turned out to be a problem with the test tube, scratches.

Distorted information in any form gives foreign media a reason to discuss Russian athletes. Why did you flip it over and inflate it yourself? Sotnikova wrote on the social network.

Earlier, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) press service told that the agency has no information about the situation with Sotnikova’s positive doping test.
