Television presenter and singer Olga Buzova told that all of Russia came to the skater’s defense Kamila Valieva because she is an Olympic champion and there is nothing more to discuss.
On Monday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The disqualification period begins on December 25, 2021. The ISU later announced that all of the athlete’s results from the date of sample collection had been canceled. This also led to a review of the results of the 2022 Olympics team tournament, where the Russian team won. First place is now awarded to the American team, the Japanese are second and the Russians will receive bronze.
– My heart and my love are now completely given to Camila! You know I supported her even at the Olympics. And there, all the time, they were trying to convince her of something, slander her and were just jealous. But we in all of Russia defended her and showed Kamila and the whole world how we do not allow our own people to be offended. She went on to win gold. She is unique, talented and the pride of our country. The harassment and lies that continue to be dumped on Camila are terrible. She’s an Olympic champion and there’s nothing even to discuss here. She is the owner of a well-deserved gold medal. And no one has the right to take him away from Camila and our country. Kamila Valieva is a treasure of Russia,” Buzova told .
Before the personal tournament at the Beijing Olympics, it became known that the banned drug trimetazidine was found during Valieva’s doping test at the Russian Championship. The CAS allowed the Russian to participate in the individual competitions at the Games, where she finished fourth, but this result was also annulled. The athlete also lost the title of European champion, the title went to Anna Shcherbakova.
