Kamila Valieva could have ingested the drug which caused her positive drugs test from drinking from her grandfather’s glass.
That was the improbable ‘contamination’ theory put to the 15-year old skater’s disciplinary hearing by her mother Alsu, an Olympic official has confirmed.
She claimed that Kamila’s grandfather, who has an artificial heart and takes the drug Trimetazidine, could have drunk something and “left traces of his saliva” in a glass which his granddaughter then used.
