Athletistic/Figure skating. Olympic figure skating champion Maxim Marinin, in an interview with SE, expressed a strong reaction to the outcome of the trial in the case of Kamila Valieva, disqualified for four years for doping.

“I can only speak as an outside observer. I was left with the impression that no one was involved with Kamila. I sincerely believe that this case could not have ended differently, given a certain number of circumstances. It’s a kind of example. punishment. Plus, she’s only 15”, maybe a little older now, but she’s still a child. Where could she find a support? Even just moral, not to mention legal.

The arguments presented by the defense seemed ridiculous and frivolous to me. That’s not how we do things in legal matters. I’m not going to blame anyone now. I really feel sorry for this girl because she ended up being the center of attention and turned into the scapegoat. I’m sure everything will be fine in his life. It was just a difficult stage in his life associated with figure skating. Unfortunately, it didn’t work as well as it could have and didn’t match his talent and abilities. The person could not open completely,” Marinin noted.
