Elena Vyalbe, President of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation (FLGR), called the loophole that caused the victories of the Norwegian skiers. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Vyalbe said that the Norwegian national team trains on an equal footing with the Russian team, but therapeutic exceptions give them the opportunity to beat the rest. “Let it be announced to everyone that the athlete uses the TUE. And keep all this under seven seals … This is legalized doping, ”she said.
