MOSCOW, 2 Aug. The Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova doubted the veracity of the words spoken by the Canadian Olympic champion Megan Duhamel to the Russian coach Eteri Tutberidze. Earlier, Tutberidze called the actions of the ISU, which holds competitions without the participation of Russian athletes, absurd. Duhamel replied that the Russian coach herself did not comply with the principles of fair play at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
"Absolutely unsubstantiated accusations. When they hit him from all sides, he thinks, give me, and I will come up, hit him a little. She must answer for these words. She exposes them in the press, they need to be answered. She has no proof. She heard it — but I think she imagined it. And what language did she hear it all in?" — reports the words of Tarasova & # 34; Sport-Express & # 34;.
At the Olympic Games in Beijing, Russian Kamila Valieva became the champion in the team tournament, but a scandal erupted around the young athlete due to a positive result of a doping test.
