Tutberidze wanted to do a lie detector test on those involved in the Valieva case
Russian figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze spoke out about those involved in the case of her student Kamila Valieva, who was accused of violating anti-doping rules. Her words are quoted by the YouTube channel “Comment.Show”.
“I would like to put all participants in the process on a lie detector, because I want to know the truth. I want to know where it came from, what it is, why,” the specialist said. She expressed the assumption that she would never get answers to her questions.
In January, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency’s disciplinary committee, a body independent from the main organization, informed the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) of Valieva’s innocence. At the same time, the skater was deprived of gold at the 2022 Russian Championship.
At the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, Valieva won gold in the team competition, but the Russian team was not awarded due to a doping scandal involving her. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021. At the same time, CAS allowed her to participate in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place.
