Athletistic / Figure skating. Three-time Olympic champion in figure skating and today a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Irina Rodnina responded to the resounding comments of Tatiana Tarasova, who accused Kamila Valieva’s coaches of the young athlete’s doping scandal.
“I did not stand with a candle and I am not going to comment on everything that Tarasova says. Since Valieva is a minor, this issue is decided by the coach, doctor and parents. It is these people who are responsible for what happened.
If you look at the legislation adopted in 2016, it makes it clear who exactly is responsible and for what: from fines to criminal liability. I think there is no reason to blame the coach. Prove it first, then accuse him,” Rodnina was quoted as saying. “RBC Sports”.
Tatiana Tarasova said on March 12 that no athlete “will take any pill from the doctor’s hands” and that nothing is done in figure skating without a coach. ” According to her, only the coach should be held responsible for Kamila’s doping scandal.
