Athletistic/Figure skating. State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurov commented on the doping scandal involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva.

“Double standards were applied to Kamila Valieva. Our other athletes, acquitted of microdoses, were able to present their arguments, and everything went well. But in Camila’s case, politics intervened, that’s obvious. It often happens that an innocent athlete cannot immediately explain the presence of a microdose in his body, but the one who knows where it comes from immediately gives an explanation, because he already has a ready-made version. This is the big difference between those for whom it happened by chance and those who were ready for such an outcome,” Jourova said, according to RIA Novosti.

  • Valieva said she considers herself a coach
