Kamila Valieva said that she was visited by thoughts of ending her career
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva said that she was visited by thoughts of ending her career. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
The athlete stressed that they were never categorical. “It wasn’t like that, that’s all, tomorrow I don’t skate. Everyone has difficult moments, especially when something does not work out. You think it’s a disaster, but it’s part of the sport,” Valieva said. The athlete also stressed the importance of rest for athletes.
On January 13, RUSADA informed the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) that Valieva was not guilty of an anti-doping rule violation. WADA is unhappy with this DAK verdict and will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). 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.
