The White House refused to comment on the situation with Valieva

The representative of the press service of the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre, during the briefing, did not answer a question regarding the performance of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at the Olympic Games.

“I will not comment on this, I advise you to contact the Olympic Committee,” she said.

Recall that the ceremony of awarding the winners and prize-winners of the figure skating team tournament was postponed in Beijing due to the fact that the International Doping Testing Agency recorded a positive doping test result in 15-year-old Valieva. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) sided with the Russian athlete, allowing her to speak.
