MOSCOW, Feb 23 Georgian figure skater Maurice Kvitelashvili expressed his opinion on doping — the scandal involving the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at the Beijing Olympics. «It is not in my competence to discuss this issue. But if we talk about me, I perceive this story with alarm. I wish everything to be resolved in the best way for everyone and everyone to be happy with the result Because it’s really very hard,” Match TV quotes Kvitelashvili. During the Beijing Olympics, it became known that Valieva’s doping test on December 25, 2021 was positive. The Court of Arbitration for Sport, despite the appeals of the International Olympic Committee, the International Skating Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency, allowed the Russian woman to the personal tournament of the Games. The awards ceremony for the winners of the team competition was not held. On Friday, Valieva returned from Beijing. The 15-year-old athlete won the team tournament as part of the Russian national team and took fourth place in the individual competition.
