Plushenko spoke about the exclusion of Russian figure skaters from competitions

“I won three Olympic Games and avoided all doping scandals. And the victories of athletes of that period were the purest. But now all this is being questioned, because someone came up with the idea of ​​something like this. it could pass. Do you understand what situation?

How to get rid of this loop? Difficult. Firstly, this can only be achieved through new athletes and new results. Secondly, a question to all our structures: how could a person like Rodchenkov be missed? At first, they encouraged him in everything he did. If you listen to him, he was one of the first to provoke athletes and coaches. But then he honestly admitted that he had stolen a lot of information and passed it on to the country and athletes. Here I ask myself a big question: how can people who are capable of acting completely uncontrollably raise questions, if not about state secrets, then at least about state responsibility? He should be sentenced for the million-dollar damage he caused to the country and the image of athletes and coaches, ”Rodnina quotes Sport-Express.
