Figure fighter Kamila Valeeva competed for the first time since the Beijing Olympics on Friday. The Russian caused quite a stir at the Winter Games as she took action after it was announced she was caught doping before the Games.
15-year-old Valeeva won the gold with her team at the Nations Cup in Beijing. A day later, it turned out that she had already been caught doping before the Games, but the Russian Anti-Doping Agency Rusada only suspended her and canceled that punishment already a day later.
He caused a lot of commotion, but Valieva was still allowed to play in Beijing. However, she was so upset by all the events that she could no longer win a medal as the frontrunner for gold. From Friday you will participate in a competition in Russia. The doping case is still pending, and Al-Rasada has six months to reach a verdict.
The role of her controversial coach Eteri Tutberidze has also been heavily criticized on this site. However, Tutberidze is Valeeva’s coach on Friday.
