Tatiana Tarasova stated that if she were in Tutberidze’s position in Valieva’s case, she would have taken the blame herself.
Earlier, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules.
“Eteri Tutberidze expressed doubts about the work of the lawyers defending Kamila Valieva in court. Do you think a coach can be unaware of those who are defending her athlete in court?
Eteri Tutberidze cannot be unaware of who defended Kamila in court. That’s the first thing a coach should know about.
The situation involves not only Valieva but also Eteri Tutberidze herself. How can she not know this? We should ask her who defended Kamila in court.
If such a situation had happened to me, God forbid, I would say that I am guilty.
I don’t judge Eteri Tutberidze’s actions, but I would say that I am guilty, made a mistake, gave the wrong thing, but would take responsibility off the child. This seems to be the only right decision,” said Tatiana Tarasova.
