Figure skater of the Russian national team Maria Sotskova justified herself for forging a medical certificate. Her words are quoted by “Express newspaper”.
Sotskova said that she was taking the illegal drug furosemide as prescribed by doctors at the time when she decided to end her career. “In March, doping officers came to me. I said that I was no longer an active athlete. I didn't want to get tested. I got lost. I brought a certificate from the medical institution where I was treated. I was prescribed medication there. How could I know that this clinic does not have a license ?! ” – she said.
