Tarasova said that the figure skater Kamil Valiev should be left alone in the doping case
Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova turned to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency because of the case of figure skater Kamila Valieva. Her words are quoted by RBC.
“I’m not sure and I don’t know if RUSADA is dragging this case out or not, but I think it’s time to finally leave Kamil Valiev alone with all these proceedings,” Tarasova said. She considered that the 16-year-old athlete would be positively affected by the end of the investigation.
On January 13, RUSADA informed the World Anti-Doping Agency that Valieva was not at fault for the anti-doping rule violation. At the same time, the skater was deprived of the gold of the Russian Championship-2022.
At the 2022 Olympics, Valieva won gold in the team competition, but the Russian team was not awarded due to a doping scandal with her participation. In the sample of the skater from December 2021, traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found. At the same time, CAS allowed her to participate in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place.
