Russian champion in 1500 and 5000 meters Svetlana Aplachkina in a conversation with “Championship » appreciated the high-profile affair of the Russian jumper Danila Lyssenko .
In July 2021, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Lyssenko for six years (including two years suspended) for violating anti-doping rules and interfering in the results management process. As a result of the investigation, it turned out that the athlete had provided false documents indicating that he could not pass doping tests.
– I agree that each of us can get a “flag”, no one is safe from this. But when you already have a “flag”, you will blow on the water and play it safe in everything so that the situation does not happen again. And when are there already two “flags”? Where was Daniel looking? I don’t understand.
If he had been more attentive and more responsible in his duties, we wouldn’t be talking about this story now! He is therefore guilty. As well as those who then decided to withdraw it. I have a lot of resentment towards them. It is because of them that we do not have the possibility of speaking at the international level.
All of us in sport are not forever, and when you reach the peak of your results and you don’t have the opportunity to prove yourself… Many athletes’ lives and careers could take a completely different direction” , Aplashkina said.
