Vice President of the International Skating Union (ISU) Alexander Lakernik also commented on the situation

Honorary President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Valentin Piseev: We don’t need to panic now, we need to find out everything. Now it is difficult to say anything – and you can say whatever you want. But any information, until it is official, has no basis.
Various insinuations may begin – and they have already, as I understand it, begun. It might be beneficial for someone to do this. But we must wait until the IOC, together with the ISU, sort everything out, analyze and issue official information.
In the meantime, there may be a hype that is completely untrue and casts a shadow on the organization of the competition. I would not want to spoil all the good things done by the organizers now.

Alexei Mishin: If this is true, then this is a big trouble for all of us. I think no one deals with such nonsense, maybe some kind of provocation.

The 1999 world champion Maria Butyrskaya commented on the situation with the postponement of the awards ceremony for the winners and prize-winners of the team event at the Olympic Games.
Maria Butyrskaya: I doubt that the guys would came to the Olympics in such a situation with doping. We don’t have to worry, everything will be fine.
Doping will not help figure skaters if you can’t jump, skate and do everything in training.
Now we need to react absolutely calmly and with dignity. We won the team event fair, we were head and shoulders above the rest of the teams, so we do not need to doubt our victory.
Psychologically, this will not affect the skaters in any way. We have a rather scandalous sport, a lot of things happen. This will not affect the athletes who came to the Olympic Games at all, because everyone has their own task and goal, and they will not back down from this.
