On Monday, the press office of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported that the United States was preparing a series of publications on allegations of doping abuse in Russian sports, with a focus on sports in which Russia is traditionally strong – rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming and figure skating.
— There is no doping in Russian figure skating. I don’t know who could give and take illegal drugs here. After the competition, our skaters underwent doping control; no questions were asked. The United States just wants to steal us in the disciplines where we are stronger. Well, let them try, they won’t be able to discredit our sport,” Tarasova told .
