“It is impossible to make and understand such a decision! It pains me to realize the horror that is going on around my colleagues and friends! My opinion was, is and will be one - pure athletes should not suffer for everything and everyone! It is sacrilege to punish the innocent, knowing that they are innocent! I was very glad that this at least does not apply to youth teams! I have one request to everyone: support the guys, they are now the worst of all! No need to shout that if the flag is neutral, then you don’t need to participate! Our leading athletes are known and loved all over the world, no matter what form they wear, everyone will know that they are from Russia! ”Gamova wrote on Instagram.
Russia was removed from WADA major competitions for four years in connection with the manipulation of the database of the Moscow laboratory.
Earlier, Vasilyev said that WADA takes too much on itself in deciding on the fate of entire countries.
