Embassy: The United States is trying to prevent Russian athletes from participating in competitions. The corresponding statement was published in the Telegram channel of the Russian Embassy in Washington.

In American journalistic and sports circles there is an atmosphere of gloating over the Russophobic decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to disqualify Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for four years and deprive her of awards for allegedly using doping. “Local authorities do not shy away from outright pressure on sports structures,” the embassy said.
