— [Жалею] that she retained grains of understanding and respect for the international federation and its leaders even after many years of suspension. It turns out it was never reciprocated.
Well, I will probably keep silent about the attitude towards my coach in recent years from the management of our athletics. This is simply indecent.
Despite all this, I leave really proud of my journey and the results we have achieved over the years,” Sidorova wrote on the Telegram channel.
