Eteri Tutberidze - about the situation with Kamila.
“A very controversial and difficult situation has arisen. I want to say that I am absolutely sure that Kamila is innocent and pure. For us, this is not a theorem, but an axiom, it does not need to be proved. I understand that there is some kind of protocol of actions that cannot be dispensed with. We have not abandoned the athlete in any case, we are with our athletes in trouble and in joy to the end.
It is not clear why the athlete with dubious doping was admitted to the Olympic Games on December 25. Either this is a fatal coincidence, or this is a very well-planned plan - I don’t know, both. I hope our leaders will not abandon us and defend our rights and prove our innocence.
Now our entire team is frozen in anticipation of decisions on Kamila Valieva. We are afraid of any statements, so as not to violate, not to harm. I don’t know who and what decides, but I hope justice will somehow prevail,” Tutberidze said in an interview with Channel One.
