Olympic champion Alexander Galliamov playing in tandem with Anastasia Michina reacted to the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to disqualify the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules with a poem from the film “Brother 2”.
On Monday, the CAS decided to find Valieva guilty of violating anti-doping rules and disqualify her for 4 years from the date of the doping test – December 25, 2021.
– I discovered that I had
There is a big family.
And the path and the forest,
Each spikelet in the field,
River, blue sky –
It’s my whole family.
This is my homeland
“I love everyone in the world,” the athlete wrote on his Telegram channel.
Valieva at the Beijing Olympics helped the Russian team win gold in the team competition. Before the personal tournament, it became known that the banned drug trimetazidine was found in the doping sample of the figure skater of the Russian championship. The CAS allowed the Russian to participate in the individual competitions at the Games, where she finished fourth. The Gallyamov/Mishina duo also participated in the team tournament.
In January 2023, the anti-doping disciplinary committee of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (DAK RUSADA) ruled that although Valieva committed an anti-doping rule violation, she bore “no fault or negligence”. The athlete avoided sanctions, except for the cancellation of his results on the date of sample collection – December 25, 2021. Subsequently, RUSADA, the International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) filed appeals to CAS, which were consolidated into one proceeding.
