Former biathlete of the Russian national team Olga Zaitseva On , she said she considered herself a full-fledged 2014 Olympic silver medalist in the relay.
Russians Yana Romanova, Olga Zaitseva, Ekaterina Shumilova and Olga Vilukhina won relay silver at the home Games in Sochi. After that, Vilukhina, Romanova and Zaitseva were found guilty of violating anti-doping rules. Subsequently, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) acquitted Vilukhina and Romanova, and the sanction imposed on Zaitseva remained in force, the Russian team was deprived of money.
“I am convinced that what I am accused of does not exist.” There, we clearly see that the affair is made up of white threads, everything has been invented and falsified. It’s just that such a period came, I remained extreme. No one took the medals from us, and the girls received their medals too.
I know in my heart that I am an Olympic silver medalist and I will never accept being disqualified. I know that my team and I honestly deserved this medal,” Zaitseva said on the air of the program “Biathlon with Dmitry Guberniev”.
