“The story of Kamila Valieva’s disqualification in genre most closely resembles a lengthy series, in each subsequent part of which absolutely unexpected characters appear on the screen, firmly linked to the previous plot. This time (after the publication of the reasoning part of the decision) it is “some doctor who could advise.”
“Some doctor” advised the athlete some medicines (60 in total) and, presumably, disappeared into space, if after two years of a serious investigation, as we all believed, no traces of this mysterious character were found,” — Vaitsekhovskaya wrote in the Telegram channel.
She noted that if this is not a reason to resume a full-fledged investigation and make its results public, then it would be good to understand a simple thing.
“For many years, headlines like “Another brilliant student will show a cascade with two quads” will be associated exclusively with the “quad” that Camila received from CAS.”
On January 29, CAS suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. On December 25, 2021, at the Russian Championship, she tested positive for trimetazidine. The period of disqualification is counted from the day the positive sample is submitted.
It was previously reported that WADA demanded that Valieva be disqualified from the moment the CAS decision was made.
