Athletistic / Figure skating. Famous Russian coach Alexander Zhulin spoke about the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)’s publication of the reasoning in the case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. The court released a lengthy document containing details of the case.

Recall that the CAS disqualified the skater for four years for violation of anti-doping rules. But Zhulin is sure that the athlete did not know about the doping.

“I don’t know what to think anymore. Everything is falling like a snowball. At first they were talking about trimetazidine, now they’re talking about other drugs. It’s a very strange story.

Figure skater Mishina told how she feels after being deprived of gold at the 2022 Olympics due to Valieva’s disqualification

I’m still in favor of not punishing Camila too much. Because it seems to me that there is some sort of impure situation here. Let them understand.

I don’t think Camila knew anything about it and didn’t even imagine it. But this is only my holy faith and my hypothesis,” Zhulin is quoted in Sport-Express.
