Co-owner of Plushenko’s Angels Academy, producer Yana Rudkovskaya called the decision to disqualify the Russian figure skater scandalous. Kamila Valieva For four years.
On Monday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The 17-year-old Russian’s suspension period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results have been canceled since that date.
— There was a case in our history with a minor athlete from Belarus – Varvara Kisel. She was 16 years old at the time of the sample.
After the Belarusian championship, it was discovered that she possessed a performance-enhancing drug, furosemide. We began to find out how this happened. As a result, the family, coaches and the federation considered two versions: via weight loss supplements or via the coffee offered to Varya.
Result: furosemide was found in two girls in almost equal doses, even though they initially lived in the same room. From different headquarters, but the result of the doping control is the same. In other words, the banned drug was found in both. Varya passed a lie detector – 94 percent showed their innocence. Since the discovery of doping, Varya has not participated in any competitions. The head coach of the Belarusian national team, Oleg Vasiliev, who wrote a statement regarding this episode, took full responsibility.
Varya was given a 2-year disqualification, which will expire soon. Less than a year remains. Varya entered the University of London. I don’t know if she will return to the sport, but we are waiting for her. She will be able to start training in August.
Due to the lack of evidence of conscious use of furosemide by the athletes, they were punished with a period of two years (instead of a maximum disqualification of 4 years), since the athlete carries the full responsibility for everything that enters his body.
Kamila (Valieva) got four years! Huge, of course! — Rudkovskaya wrote in Telegram channel .
