Alexander Shirvindt, 87, is an avid sports fan. Therefore, he tries not to miss broadcasts from the Olympics. Among his favorite sports are biathlon, skiing, hockey and, of course, figure skating.
– Our girls skated beautifully yesterday, – the actor does not hide his emotions.
Alexander Anatolyevich also followed the development of a doping scandal involving Kamilla Valieva, in whose December sample a banned substance was found.
– She was terribly lucky, this Valieva, – the actor believes. – With the help of all these nightmares, such a titanic world popularity came to her. You have to pay billions for this. And she just has it.
Forecasts regarding the future career of Valieva Shirvint are not taken to be made.
– From what it can move away, I do not know, because it is very far away, – continued the actor. – Will watch!
In Valieva’s positive doping test, trimetazidine concentration was 2.1 ng/ml. This indicates a single dose of the pill.
The illegal drug entered Valieva’s body, probably because of her grandfather’s medicine. He regularly drove his granddaughter to training and waited in the car until they were over.
“The skater’s mother and lawyer said the skater did not use the prohibited substance intentionally,” CAS said in a statement. – It is most likely that the banned substance entered her body in a domestic way because of her grandfather, who uses trimetazidine after heart surgery.
