Russia's Sochi 2014 women's singles figure skating champion Adelina Sotnikova has admitted she returned a positive doping test during the year of her Olympic triumph, but insisted she was cleared by her B-sample. Sotnikova was a surprise winner of the women's singles at her home Winter Olympics nine years ago, becoming the first athlete from her country to win the event, although there was controversy surrounding scoring and judging as many felt the defending champion Yuna Kim of South Korea should have taken gold rather than silver. Speaking on the Tatarka FM channel on YouTube, Sotnikova, who is now 27, discussed the Kamila Valieva doping case at Beijing 2022. Valieva, who was 15 during last year's Winter Olympics, had already helped the Russian Olympic Committee to a team figure skating gold in the Chinese capital when insidethegames exclusively revealed she was at the centre of a doping scandal, The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) wants a four-year ban for Valieva, and an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport for further sanctions than those imposed by a Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Disciplinary Committee is due to be heard in September. The Korean Sports and Olympic Committee (KSOC) is gathering information to ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to investigate the doping case of Olympic figure skating champion Adelina Sotnikova . Sotnikova previously stated in an interview with the Tatarka FM YouTube channel that her “A” doping test in 2014 was positive, but the “B” test then gave a negative result. Later, the skater's interview was deleted on the Tatarka FM channel. Sotnikova at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi won gold in the singles tournament, ahead of Korean Kim Yong. - The Korea Anti-Doping Agency collects relevant data and information. After we collect the necessary information, we will ask the IOC to look into the Sotnikova case. She herself said that she tested positive on her A sample, but negative on her B sample. This is an extremely rare case requiring re-investigation. Testing technology has improved over the years, we think that they will be able to find what they could not find in the past, - quotes the words of the representative of the Olympic Committee of the Republic of Korea Yonhap. During the interview, Sotnikova claimed she had tested positive in 2014 but was cleared by her B-sample. "Remembering 2014, when after some time they said that they found doping in me," she said. "I was supposed to have a trial, but then they acquitted me, because they opened the second sample, and everything was fine. "I was terrible I was depressed."
