Russian athletes were temporarily suspended from competition. And Figure Skating Federation of Russia President Alexander Gorshkov hopes for successful resolution of the meldonium situation. That is what Alexander Gorshkov said in his interview to the ROC Information Service, commenting on the lifting of the disqualification imposed on the Russian skater Ekaterina Bobrova.

“We are very glad that the decision of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Skating Union (ISU) on Ekaterina Bobrova’s issue was reasonable and fair. We were very worried about our figure skater. I hope that issues of all Russian athletes, temporarily suspended from competition because meldonium, will be resolved positively.”
