“If Sotnikova herself spoke about the doping test, then the NOC of South Korea has the right to demand an investigation” – Rodnina

The National Olympic Committee (NOC) of South Korea has the right to demand an investigation into Adeline’s case Sotnikova since the athlete herself spoke about her positive doping test, three-time Olympic figure skating champion Irina told Rodnina .

Earlier, it was learned that the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee (KSOC) intends to ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to review doping allegations against Olympic figure skating champion Adelina Sotnikova.

Sotnikova earlier in an interview with YouTube channel Tatarka FM told about a positive doping test in 2014, and also noted that her “B” test came back negative. Adelina at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi won gold in the singles tournament, ahead of Korean Kim Yong-A.

– If the athlete herself said so, she really has the right to demand an investigation.

– What are the expected consequences? How do you think the case will end?

— I don’t know, it depends on the results of the investigation. Let’s wait. What are we running ahead of? Why guess on coffee grounds? If the athlete herself said so, then it probably is. She will not slander herself again,” Rodnina told .
