Express dissatisfaction! President of the United States Olympic Committee: Extremely disappointed by the outcome of the doping case of Russian athletes

On February 14, at a press conference held at the main press center of the Beijing Winter Olympics, CAS Secretary General Rebbe announced the arbitration result. Russian figure skater Camilla Vallieva, who tested positive on December 25 last year, was allowed to continue to compete.

U.S. Olympic Committee President Sarah Hirschland immediately expressed disappointment. She said: "We are disappointed by the message conveyed by this decision. Protecting the integrity of the sport and ensuring that athletes, coaches and everyone else meets high standards is the collective responsibility of the entire Olympic movement. Athletes have the right to know that they are playing on a level playing field. Unfortunately, this decision by cas deprives them of the right to do so. ”

She criticized: "This is a new chapter in the Russian system and the total disrespect for the cleanup campaign." The U.S. Olympic Committee then circulated an urgent statement, saying: "We know that this case is not yet closed, and we encourage the entire Olympic Movement to continue to fight for the clean movement on behalf of athletes from all over the world." ”
