The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, the famous former boxer Dmitry Pirog, called for support for figure skater Kamila Valieva, who is suspected of doping and suggests not to make judgments until official information appears.

“Camila now has to go through a difficult test. She is suspected of using doping and is going to be suspended from the competition, which may affect the performances of the Russian team in figure skating. It’s hard to even imagine what a little 15-year-old athlete is feeling right now. We must all support her.

I would like to emphasize that it is premature to make any judgments and give assessments of the situation, because neither the IOC, nor the ISU, nor WADA have officially announced their position. All information comes from unofficial sources and foreign media. It's too early for us all to say something. So far this is just speculation.

We all know that Camila is a real gem. This is a girl with incredible talent, which she has repeatedly confirmed in various competitions. With such talent, the very fact of doping is questionable. Does she need him? It looks absurd. Especially if we are talking about the so-called pharmacy doping, which can in no way affect the results of the competition. Everyone already knows that she is the best. Many of its competitors have publicly acknowledged this more than once, ”Pirog said in an interview.

It was reported that the decision on Valieva's case had not yet been made. There is still a chance that the Russian woman will be found not guilty of using the drug trimetazidine. Lawyers from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are working on this issue.

Earlier it was reported that information about the removalieva from the personal tournament was not confirmed.
