Neftekhimik striker Nikita Setdikov believes that the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva There is a political context.
At the end of January, the 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.
— Now it all comes down to politics, which enters into sports. Russia is the main enemy of the people for all foreign sports. I don’t know why they made such a decision regarding Valieva. She’s a young girl, she still has to play and play. I wish him courage to get through these difficult times. I hope Kamila returns to the ice and shows everyone her strength,” Setdikov quotes Metaratings.ru.
The CAS decision led to a review of the results of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympics, where the Russian team won. First place is now awarded to the American team, the Japanese are second and the Russians will receive bronze.
