Two-time world figure skating champion Evgenia Medvedeva on her Instagram supported Kamila Valieva, who was at the center of a scandal after publishing a dubious doping test.
“Camila, you know how I feel about you, words are superfluous here. Everything I wanted to say, you have already heard personally. I will always support you! This post is more for media representatives. Colleagues, I understand perfectly well what you earn, and clickbait is very important to you. I know how you can try to be ahead of the curve for traffic and misinformation. But maybe this time you will be more patient? Let's wait for the official news. I am sure that in any case everything will be fine, ”Medvedev wrote.
Valieva went to practice for the first time amid doping reports Figure skating Valieva went to practice on Thursday for the first time since the team tournament, where she won gold medals with the Russian team at the Beijing Olympics. The press attache of the Russian Figure Skating Federation, Olga Yermolina, said that Valieva was not suspended from competition in women's singles.
A representative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at a press conference called reports that the awards ceremony for figure skaters following the results of the team tournament was delayed due to Valieva's dubious doping test as speculation.
The day before, the Inside The Games portal reported that the delay in the awards ceremony for the medalists of the Olympic team figure skating tournament arose due to a problem with a doping test of one of the Russian figure skaters. Later, the publication clarified that this was a doping test for Valieva. As The Guardian wrote, we are talking about a drug that does not affect athletic performance.
According to RBC sources, the athletes found trimetazidine in the doping test. It has been banned since 2015 and was classified as a cardiometabolic modulator in 2021. As sports doctor Nikita Karlitsky noted, the drug protects the heart and brain during intense exercise.
The IOC twice postponed the awarding of Russian figure skaters who won gold in the team tournament. As part of the Russian team, Valieva, Mark Kondratyuk, sports couple Anastasia Mishina / Alexander Gallyamov and dancers Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov became Olympic champions. The Ministry of Sports considered it premature to comment on the data that the postponement of the ceremony is associated with the result of Valieva's doping test.
