Tatyana Navka, the 2006 Olympic champion in ice dancing, called the anti-doping rules applied against Kamila Valieva “absolutely stupid”. She stated this to RBC Sport.
“Absolutely stupid rule with this anti-doping. With the same success, you can ban drinking aspirin, and coffee, and cola, ”said Navka.
The IOC will not award medals to Valieva. The main thing at the Olympics Olympics 2022 According to her, earlier all athletes used the drug mildronat to avoid heart attacks. “All athletes used to, and to this day I continue to drink mildronat. This is a substance that does not provide any promotion to the Olympic medals, but simply helps the body so that there are no heart attacks, so that the cells are saturated with oxygen. As for Valieva, I’m extremely happy, the short program starts tomorrow, I’m rooting for our girls, ”added Navka.
She spoke positively about the work of the Russian Olympic Committee in the situation with the Valieva doping scandal and stated the need to protect the athlete, since she had not yet reached the age of majority.
“This is a huge achievement for our Olympic Committee, our leaders. It's great that the girl has the opportunity [to continue performing], and I want to believe that nothing will interfere with her in the future. In the future, proceedings will still continue regarding her results, but still it is believed that she is under protection, she is still a child, ”said the interlocutor of RBC Sport.
A representative of Valieva revealed the details of the hearings at CAS in her case of the 2022 Olympics Valieva passed a positive doping test at the end of December. Trimetazidine was found in her analysis, but, according to RBC Sport sources, in a small amount. The results of the test were made public after Valieva won the Olympic team competition on February 7 as part of the Russian team.
RUSADA on February 8 imposed a temporary suspension on the skater. But the next day, the disciplinary committee of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency reversed this decision, and Valieva was able to continue participating in the Beijing Games.
The admission of the athlete to the Olympics was challenged by the IOC, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Skating Union (ISU). The judges of the CAS field panel sided with RUSADA and allowed the athlete to compete in the individual competitions, which will be held on February 15 and 17.
RUSADA will deal with the doping test. The away panel of CAS did not discuss the fate of the gold medal won by the Russians in the team tournament.
