President of Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe answering questions from “” on the results of the examination of the case of the Russian skier by the disciplinary commission for anti-doping (DAK) of RUSADA Maria Gushchina stated that the federation would not compensate the athlete’s costs in this case.
DAK RUSADA, after considering the case of Gushchina on June 23, in which the athlete was accused of using a prohibited method, decided to limit himself to a warning without imposing a disqualification. Since Gushchina was not suspended, her career was in fact not interrupted.
– Did the federation help her?
No, we didn’t help her.
– Is the federation ready to compensate for its expenses in the face of such a soft decision?
Why should we compensate? If we compensate everyone who goes to court, it seems to me that it is somehow not quite … Moreover, she was no longer a member of the national team. For a member of the national team last season, we paid the expenses he incurred. He didn’t even wear it – we hired a lawyer ourselves. Therefore, I don’t think we should provide such things to every skier.
