Overview
- Eteri Tutberidze is accredited at the Milan-Cortina Games with Georgia as the coach of European champion Nika Egadze.
- WADA president Witold Banka said he feels uncomfortable with Tutberidze being at the Olympics but noted investigations found no legal basis to exclude her.
- International Testing Agency director-general Benjamin Cohen said Tutberidze was not found to have committed an anti-doping violation and emphasized automatic entourage probes when minors are involved.
- Anti-doping and eligibility rules have been tightened since the Valieva case, including mandatory entourage investigations in cases involving minors and a minimum Olympic skating age of 17.
- Her route into the Games through Georgian accreditation highlights vetting and neutrality loopholes, with reports that the ISU intervened when she attempted to coach Russian skater Adeliia Petrosian during qualifiers.
