“Svetlana Varganova has not contacted us and, it seems, does not want to do so. We do not know what is happening to her now. We do not know who her lawyer or defender is. The Indian side is not telling us not how. “This investigation is ongoing into his case. And we cannot intervene in this matter, because she apparently does not want to cooperate with us,” said the representative of the General Consultation.

Varganova won silver medals at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. There she won a medal in the 200m breaststroke. Over this same distance, she became world champion in 1982.
