Trankov – about the Valieva affair: “There have always been double standards. But unfortunately, this affected the most talented figure skater of our time.

Double Olympic figure skating champion Maxim Trankov told that the disqualified Kamila Valieva has become a victim of double standards.

At the end of January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. On Wednesday October 2, we learned that the Swiss Federal Court had rejected an appeal against the CAS decision to suspend the skater.

“There is nothing to discuss on a global scale here.” They not only meet Kamila, but also the whole of Russian sport. Our disqualification is exactly the same: we don’t play anywhere.

There have always been double standards. But unfortunately it affected the most talented figure skater of our time,” Trankov told .

The 18-year-old Russian’s suspension period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results have been canceled since that date.
