Guberniev said he was going to ‘slam’ Canadians in court

Presenter and commentator at Dmitry Guberniev said he had not forgotten that he was on Canada’s sanctions list and would pursue the decision in court.

In 2022, Canada placed a number of Russian journalists on its sanctions list, including Guberniev. Canada’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) said earlier in January that it believes Team Canada should win bronze in the 2022 Olympic team figure skating tournament and is exploring the possibility of appealing the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) to review the tournament results. .

“The Canadians will naturally appeal because the toad is choking them. » But we’re going to show it to these Canadians! I am under Canadian sanctions, I will always apply them in court. They will answer for everything. We are waiting for a little time to pass and Trudeau and his team will dance again,” Guberniev told the correspondent.

At the end of January, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The disqualification period begins on December 25, 2021. Valieva’s dismissal 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. Team Canada remained fourth.
