The scandal erupted after the statement of the Honored Coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova regarding the disqualification of Valieva, in which she claimed that “only a coach can give a pill.”
Honored coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze published an article on one of the social networks, calling Tarasova’s words “deliberate slander” and demanding an official apology.
“Could this happen? No, it is not possible. Not a single coach provided anything to Valieva. All coaches and athletes were subject to appropriate checks by the controlling authorities” , Kogan told TASS.
