Former striker of the Catalan “Barcelona” and the England national team Gary Lineker jokingly reacted to the news about the scandal at the Olympics around the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. Post available at Twitter.
Lineker made a playful memo for athletes, commenting on the news about the entry of the banned drug trimetazidine into the body of a 15-year-old figure skater. “Never touch grandfather’s first aid kit or take his heart pills. Yes, yes, we all did this, ”wrote the ex-footballer of the England national team.
According to the version of the Russian side, the drug got into Valieva’s body with a product that her grandfather used. This, in particular, was reported by the representative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Denis Oswald, commenting on the results of the meeting of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). According to him, it was this argument that played in favor of the Russian woman and allowed her to gain admission to participate in the Games.
CAS allowed Valieva to participate in the individual skaters’ tournament. On February 15, the Russian woman will perform a short program. Valieva’s rental is scheduled for 16:52 Moscow time.
