Beijing 2022 Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Veronika Stepanova in his column on “” expressed confidence that the now banned drugs can only get into an athlete’s body by mistake.

– In 2022, it is enough to be an enchanting idiot to deliberately take something from the forbidden. We are so often and suddenly tested that it is simply unthinkable. Any prohibited pharmaceutical can only enter the body by mistake.

Another thing is that we are all very nervous, we are afraid of accidentally eating or drinking something. Not necessarily from the WADA / RUSADA list – for such cases there is a very intelligible online guide: what is possible, what is not. But only a qualified sports doctor can advise taking a particular drug – or the side effects of it for that particular athlete are such that you can end up without a season at all. Although the decision always remains with the athlete. We athletes are responsible for everything that enters our bodies, Stepanova wrote.

Stepanova, 21, is the 2022 Olympic relay champion.
