BEIJING, Feb 9, Alexander Govorov. One has problems with doping test of Russian figure skaters could affect all sports in the country, said sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev. On Monday, Russian figure skaters won the Beijing Games team tournament. However, the rewarding of figure skaters following the results of the team tournament at the Olympics is delayed. Portal Inside the Games reported that the reason for the delay is the problem with the doping test of a Russian athlete before the Games in Beijing.
"We must wait for official information, but the premonitions are very disturbing. All this is very bad. The Olympics is a test of professionalism for everyone. We remember the story of the hockey player (Evgeny. — Ed.) Kuznetsov, for example. In addition to the fact that this is a fierce blow to the sport in the country and to the team that won gold, it is also a blow to the career. What place should you think? But for now, this is all speculation. We are not in the most stable position, considering that we are here without a flag and an anthem. This will not add whists to us", Guberniev said.
