Athletistic / Figure skating. Irina Rodnina, three-time Olympic figure skating champion, spoke out about Kamila Valieva’s doping case. According to Rodnina, in Valieva’s situation, the responsibility should have fallen on the athlete’s coach, doctor and parents.

Previously, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified the skater for four years for violating anti-doping rules.

Utkin spoke about Valieva’s long disqualification

“Who should take responsibility for the situation with Valieva? We have a law that says that if a minor athlete takes prohibited drugs, the doctor, coach and parents bear responsibility, including criminal liability. Therefore, The answer to this question is absolutely obvious.

There is a fact of disqualification, which indicates doping problems in the sport. The punishment was too harsh for a girl, but it was a fact. And it’s too late to evaluate the official version with pies and cups, ”Sport24 quotes Rodnina.
