“The legend is fresh, but hard to believe. I still really hope for a positive outcome for Camila. I would really like her to avoid disqualification,” Match TV quotes Bestemyanova.

According to the results of the team figure skating competition at the Beijing Olympics, Russia won gold, the USA came second, and Japan came third, but the award ceremony was canceled due to the publication of the results of Valieva’s doping test.

The figure skater is suspected of using the banned drug trimetazidine, which was detected in a sample dated December 25, 2021.

Earlier, Valieva expressed her opinion regarding her doping case.
