Vladimir Putin in staunch defence of Kamila Valieva as he slams ban on Russian athletes
Vladimir Putin has defended figure skating star Kamila Valieva two months on from her doping case at the 2022 Winter Olympics, as well as slamming recent sport bans on Russian athletes. Valieva was part of the Russian team that won gold in the figure skating event at the Games, however her ongoing case has meant they are yet to be presented with their medals.
