Tarasova reacted to the CAS decision in the Valieva case with the phrase “I hate them”
Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova declared hatred towards CAS after the decision to disqualify figure skater Kamila Valieva due to a doping scandal. She reacted to the verdict of the sports court in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
“I hate them. I hate their decision. I had no idea that there would be such a decision. What to do? File an appeal. There is always a chance,” Tarasova emphasized.
By decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the athlete was disqualified for four years.
The period is calculated from December 25, 2021. Thus, Valieva will be deprived of gold for winning the team tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing as part of the Russian team.
At the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, Valieva won gold in the team tournament, but the winners – the teams of Russia, the USA and Japan – were not awarded due to the doping scandal involving her. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
