Valuev on proposal to punish Kasatkina for calling for change of citizenship: ‘Teryushkov is getting bored with his proposals’

Deputy of the State Duma Nikolai Valuev opposed the initiative of a parliamentary colleague Roman Teryushkova Bring Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina to justice over her remarks about changing sports citizenship.

Earlier, Russia’s first racket in an interview advised Russian juniors ‘to change nationality, if possible’. Teryushkov said the 25-year-old athlete should face criminal liability because “propaganda to change the national team and call on children to change nationality undermines the foundations of the state, a crime against the country” .

– To be honest, Mr. Teryushkov is starting to annoy with his proposals and statements. As for Kasatkina, of course, she is completely wrong to urge children to change sports citizenship. You can’t do that, it’s too much, ‘RB Sport’ quotes Valuev.

Kasatkina is the winner of five WTA tournaments (four of them singles), owner of the Billie Jean King Cup in the Russian team.
