CITAZIONE
A scandalous situation arose around the Russian national figure skating team after winning the team tournament at the 2022 Olympics.
On Wednesday morning, February 9, it became known that the results of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympics may be revised due to the situation with the doping test of the figure skater of the Russian national team, reports Inside The Games. According to the source, the problem arose with a sample taken before the Games in Beijing.
On Monday, February 7, Russian figure skaters won the Olympic team tournament. Mark Kondratyuk and Kamila Valieva (both single skating), Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov (pair skating), Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov (dancing) played for the Russian national team . However, the Russians were not awarded medals.
The ceremony was supposed to take place in Beijing's Medal Square on February 8, but was postponed and then canceled without a new date being set. On the afternoon of February 9, Beijing time, the British portal Inside The Games reported that the reason for the postponement was a problem with a doping test for one of the skaters of the Russian national team.
Closer to midnight Beijing time, Inside The Games revealed a new insider : Valieva's doping test caused the team tournament medal ceremony at the Olympics to be postponed.
What was found at Valieva's?
As it became known to "SE" , the prohibited drug found in the sample of Kamila Valieva does not improve sports performance and is used to treat cardiological problems.
Proceedings are underway regarding the situation with 15-year-old Valieva , they will stretch at least until Thursday, February 10. If Camila is found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation, her punishment may not be as severe due to her age.
Reaction
Valieva missed training on Tuesday afternoon, but none of the representatives of the Russian team commented on the absence of the skater.
Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov led the class but declined to comment, USA Today journalist Tom Shad said . All other participants of the team tournament from Russia missed their training.
Coach Tamara Moskvina explained that the world champions Nastasia Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov did not train, as they have a day off. Svetlana Sokolovskaya, Mark Kondratyuk's coach, explained that her trainees missed training by the fact that the skater had a planned rest before the free program in the individual tournament on February 10.
Alexey Zheleznyakov, the choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, reacted emotionally to information about a possible positive doping test in 15-year-old Kamila Valieva. He noted that he could not say anything, as he did not have official information.
