Coach Tutberidze spoke about the problems of figure skater Valieva with excess weight
Honored Coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze spoke on the NHK TV channel about the problems of figure skater Kamila Valieva with excess weight.
“Camila needs to dry out. And she must do this herself,” the specialist said. She also added that the skater needs to train in the same mode in which she trained.
On January 31, Valieva interrupted training with Tutberidze due to the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to disqualify her. The 17-year-old athlete was required to do this due to a four-year ban, as she cannot train with public money.
On January 29, CAS disqualified Valieva for four years. The period of suspension starts on December 25, 2021. According to the court, Valieva could not prove that she took doping unintentionally.
The doping scandal surrounding Valieva unfolded at the 2022 Olympic Games. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
