Bronze medalist of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Italian figure skater Carolina Costner responded to the words of Kamila Valieva, who announced her desire to return to professional sports after serving a four-year disqualification.
“Every athlete’s journey is unique and special. What would I wish for her? To truly listen to your heart and have the courage to follow what it says. Does the Valieva case make you think about the anti-doping system? I don’t think it’s up to me to decide,” Costner is quoted as saying. “Sport Express”.
In January, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) banned Kamila for four years for violating anti-doping rules. On December 25, 2021, at the Russian Championship, she tested positive for trimetazidine.
Earlier, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev said that he would support the possible return of figure skater Kamila Valieva to the sport.
