  1. ⚡️The doping case of Kamila Valieva is nearing a denouement. RUSADA has already completed the most high-profile investigation in figure skating, but the results have not yet been announced.
    And what did Camila do while the agency decided her fate?

    In case you forgot, here is the highlight of the story:
    On February 7, at the Beijing Olympics, the Russian team won gold in the team tournament. The award ceremony was first postponed, and then completely canceled. The reason was a positive doping test of one of the Russian skaters.
    It soon became clear that it was about Valieva's sample, taken on December 25 at the national championship in St. Petersburg. Banned trimetazidine was found in Camila's body.
    RUSADA imposed a temporary suspension on the skater, but changed the verdict the next day.
    Despite appeals from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Skating Union (ISU), Valiyeva was allowed to enter the individual tournament. There she took 4th place.

    • The investigation continued – its results were expected back in August, but the news appeared only now.
    “Investigation completed. At present, the results processing department, in accordance with the established rules and procedures, is preparing the necessary documents for organizing hearings,” said Veronika Loginova, Director General of RUSADA.

    By the way, the agency dealt not only with Valieva, but also with her entourage, including coach Eteri Tutberidze. Whether this part of the case is over – apparently, we will also find out after the hearings that will be held in the disciplinary anti-doping committee (date unknown).
    RUSADA's acquittal is unlikely to be the end of the case. The ISU, WADA and IOC have the right to appeal the agency's decision – and the story continues. But even with an intermediate positive verdict, Camila will be allowed to participate in Russian competitions. And she is already preparing for the test skates of the national team, which will be held in Moscow on September 24-25.

    The day when RUSADA was reminded of the doping case, Kamila spent it carefree. In the morning she went to Love Radio with singer Vanya Dmitrienko. More recently, Valieva starred in his video and now she is participating in the promotion.
    On the radio, she told quite a bit – she talked about the acting component of figure skating: “The clip was just gorgeous, it seemed to me that it was like a film – a teenage one. This is a film, and we, the skaters, are the actors. But silent actors. We also express some feelings, only through dance. And here it was necessary to show emotion with a face. Therefore, everything was fine. I was told what emotion – I do.
    And she answered the question of what love is: “This is the mutual understanding of two people who are in a relationship. And, perhaps, respect for each other.

    Then Valieva and Dmitrienko went to the RUTV channel – there the conversation turned out to be more meaningful. We started with the history of acquaintance and, of course, with a joint video.

    Dmitrienko: “I write music, go to studios, work. At some point, a video tag pops up on the social network from Camila's fan account, which mentioned me. There she talks about my work. I am shocked that I have an audience in sports – I thought they were all real classics there, but they are not – and they also love pop music.
    We somehow get to know each other, I invite her to my concert. Camila comes, after the concert we manage to hug, agree that we will meet someday. We met once or twice. And then we have a question about the main character in the video, and I understand that it must be some kind of super-cool girl – radiant, kind. I immediately realized that it must be Camila. I had no doubt that she would agree – they had long wanted to. Camila is a great fellow, she played great.”

    Valieva: “It was unexpected. I did not even think that Vanya would write to me about this. I agreed right away."

    Camila was preparing for Vanya's songs at the victorious Euro, and "Olympic" in their video is not about sports
    – Van, did you watch Camila's victories?

    Dmitrienko: “Of course. Watched a lot of Wan from all patches of land. I just wasn't that into figure skating. And when I was mentioned in that video, I did not know the whole story of this little man.
    She instilled in me an interest in figure skating, I began to follow … what do you call it?

    Valieva: "Demonstration performances".

    Dmitrienko: “I became very interested. I found out that someone even put a number under my song.

    Valieva: “Yes, Ivan Bukin and Sasha Stepanova skated demonstrations under “Venus – Jupiter”.

    Dmitrienko: "It's not cool – it's just great!"

    – Camila, do you have Vanya's favorite song?

    Valieva: “Power of attraction”, and I really like “Dance” – I listened to this song at the European Championships before performances, it charged me.”

    Dmitrienko: “Shooting in the video is a way out of the comfort zone for Camila. If I came on the ice, I would also be very uncomfortable, I would also worry. I was very worried about how she would feel – they chose a team from our guys. She immediately got to work. I had to arrive an hour later, but the girls wrote: she works like a goddess, come earlier.”

    Valieva: “Yes, I was worried, because after all, everything needs to be done well. And this is quite a trigger point for us athletes.”

    Dmitrienko: "Yes, how long should you train – 11 years?"

    Valieva: "13 years old!"

    – When a guy and a girl star in a video, they are often credited with an affair. What are your fans saying?

    Valieva: “A lot of things are written. But rather not."

    Dmitrienko: “I don’t know what the fans write. We did not reveal the story of the novel in this clip. This is a fan story – from a very good side. It's about the love of creativity.

    – There is a phrase in the song: “Olympic is assembled in your eyes. You dedicated this phrase to Camila?

    Dmitrienko: "No, the song was written a year and a half ago."

    – You felt like it was attracted.

    Dmitrienko: Why? Camila did not collect "Olympic". On the contrary, here the meaning of the phrase is that the "Olympic" has already been demolished. And the human eye (except for vidos) will never see it completely. And as we all know, it was a wonderful phenomenon – the artists stood there in tears. I was always amazed when they say: I hope you will assemble the Olimpiyskiy. What do they wish me? So that I collect a real stadium or that I don't collect anything? He doesn't exist."

    – Camila, your dog starred in this video – was he also worried?

    Valieva: "No, he was the best actor."

    Do you take it with you to training?

    Valieva: Yes.

    Dmitrienko: "It's time for him to buy his little skates."

    Valieva: “I thought about it! Maybe make it to order."

    – Do you listen to Grigory Leps (Dmitrienko is preparing a song with him)? Do you know his songs?

    Valieva: “I listen very little. I probably heard all the songs somewhere and I know for sure, but I don’t have them on my playlist.”

    Who do you listen to from the old school?

    Valiev: "Beasts", "Spleen", "Degrees".

    – You have no desire to sing?

    Valieva: “I’m probably a little afraid to sing straight. Only if you try to do vocals for yourself.

    – Do you have time for this?

    Valieva: “I have training somewhere until 7 pm, and from 7 to 10 or 9 I have time.”

    – Camila will always have a perfect figure – so many workouts, how else?

    Valieva: "Of course."

    – Recently, Prince William and Kate Middleton became billionaires. Now, if you had a billion, what would you spend it on?

    Valieva: “To apartments! Difficult. First, I would fully provide for my family, and then I would invest in a business so that the money would work.

    – What have you already managed to earn?

    Dmitrienko points to the jewelry.

    Valieva: “They gave me this! I have very good fans. They give me a lot of things – and the fans gave me a phone. So I'm just hoarding for now. I save until I'm 18, then maybe I'll invest it wisely somewhere. Or I will continue to save.

    Dmitrienko: “When we spoke with Kamila today, she said that she was saving her pension. At the age of 16 he is saving his pension! Can you imagine what painful training there is if she started saving her pension at 16?

    Valieva: "Training is not painful, training is hard."

    – Camila, do you want to drive in the future?

    Valieva: “I want to pass on the rights. If I'm not mistaken, at 17 you can pass and go with an escort. The desire is great. What kind of car is still in thought.

    How much do you spend on your Wishlist?

    Valieva: “We usually spend on groceries.”

  2. What’s the point? She can’t compete anyway internationally. The Russian athletes are free to dope as much as they choose. Probably going to see a ladies quad axle soon. 🤞❤️✌🏻🇺🇦
