Following the doping scandal involving figure skating champion Kamila Valieva, her defense team claims she tested positive for substances from her grandfather’s heart medication. Meanwhile, the 15-year-old will continue to compete normally at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
According to the defense lawyers of the athlete, there is a possibility that she used a glass that had traces of the medicine for the heart.
The Russian newspaper Pravda reports that one of her lawyers stated that “there are many ways in which she can enter [η ουσία] in her body “.
“For example, her grandfather gently from a glass, the saliva entered the glass and somehow ended up this glass to be used by the athlete. Or the substance was on some surface of a utensil, from where the athlete could drink. “
She told a Russian television channel: “These days are very difficult for me, emotionally. I am happy, but mentally exhausted. That is why my tears are joy and sorrow together. “I will do my best to represent my country.”
Also about the testimonies she had to give about the incident she said how this taught her that an adult’s life “can be unfair sometimes”.
