Tatyana Tarasova called on American Zhou to answer for his words about doping among Russians
Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova appreciated the words of American figure skater Vincent Zhou about the doping situation in Russia. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
“How does he know? Was he here, did he live here? What is he talking about? — the specialist was indignant, adding that Zhou should be held accountable for his words. Tarasova also called on him to sue him.
Earlier, Zhou spoke about the widespread prevalence of doping among Russian figure skaters. “Positive doping test [Камилы] Valieva is not an isolated case,” the athlete noted.
At the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, Valieva won the team tournament as part of the Russian team, but the award ceremony for the winners and prize-winners was not held due to a doping scandal involving her participation. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021. Hearings in Valieva’s case will take place from September 26 to 29.
