Renat Laishev: “Kamila Valieva has become a victim of Western lies. They are bastards and scoundrels – both in WADA and in the IOC.”

Here’s a translation of the comments made by Sambo-70 president Renat Laishev regarding Kamila Valieva’s doping case.
Earlier, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced a 4-year disqualification for Kamila Valieva from December 25, 2021 – the day the figure skater tested positive for trimetazidine.
“Kamila Valieva has become a victim of Western lies. These scoundrels are attacking us from all sides. They don’t see God, and yet we’re supposed to discuss something with them.
They are bastards and scoundrels – both in WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) and in the International Olympic Committee. Everything else is child’s babble. We have nothing to talk about with them, and we will defeat them. And we will win.
I am absolutely confident in Kamila’s complete innocence; she was, is, and will be one of the best figure skaters in the world. And an Olympic champion for millions of figure skating fans,” said the president of “Sambo-70”.

I think it’s clear to most people that Laishev is an idiot. Why does he get so much quoting in this blog (to confirm that all Russians are idiots)? Does it make you feel better..?
Honey, science doesn’t lie.
Somehow its only a problem when russians dope
As long as they blame everyone but themselves the problem will continue. There needs to be random drug tests done often unannounced to resolve this.
I think this guy is seriously overestimating the importance of a figure skating team gold in figure skating. The kind of conspiracy he’s implying by saying Kamila is innocent and it’s just “Western lies” that are responsible for this ban would have been too much effort for something that most people that aren’t skating fans to begin with simply don’t care about.
Could it be that Kamila is blameless? I guess so. But, if she was indeed set up, maybe start looking a little closer to home. With a pending test result, she could’ve easily been swapped out for Sasha or Anna in the team comp, and no “evil Westerner” could’ve influenced that decision. As for the singles event, the ones standing to gain most from Kamila’s disqualification are the ones that have a shot at gold without her. And, again, that’s not any Western skater.
Farfetched? Maybe. But if he can throw out conspiracy theories, so can anyone else.
