According to the representative of the RRF, which reports TASS, the athlete recused herself.
Zaitseva, who completed her professional career in November 2017, was disqualified for life by the International Olympic Committee for violating anti-doping rules, and her result at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi was canceled.
Her nomination for the election to the RRF board caused an ambiguous reaction in the biathlon community.
Earlier it was reported that Dmitry Guberniev agreed with the position of Hajo Zeppelt regarding Zaitseva’s nomination to the SBR board.
