Russia (bbabo.net), - The author of the article believes that the current trial is not an accusation against Valieva, but against the anti-doping system. And the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee act according to the principle "if in doubt - punish", which is unfair to athletes.

"The story of Valieva only showed the viciousness and toxicity of the World Anti-Doping Agency, its endless legal delays and random accusations. At the same time, there is no evidence that the drug" trimetazidine "gave Valieva at least some advantage over rivals or somehow proves the deliberate use of a prohibited substance" , writes journalist Sally Jenkins.

The author notes that Valieva is the greatest figure skater of her time, who far surpasses everyone. And there are no substances that could improve her artistry.

The publication says that punishing the Russian woman would be a reckless decision that would only point to the politicization of the anti-doping system in sports.
