Athletistic/Figure skating. Tatiana Tarasova, honored figure skating coach of the USSR, expressed her thoughts on the possible reasons for the discovery of doping in the analysis of figure skater Kamila Valieva.

On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for anti-doping rule violations and annulled her results effective December 25, 2021.

“Only a coach can provide this pill. Otherwise, this cannot happen. How could children get such a pill from a doctor? Without the participation of a coach, nothing happens to us,” Tarasova noted in the program “Life and Destiny” on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.

Valieva’s coach is Eteri Tutberidze.
