Repilov's sporting achievements will not be taken into account in the investigation of the fraud case.

The sporting achievements of three-time world champion Roman Repilov, accused of fraud, will not be taken into account when considering his case. This was announced on November 22 by Olympic speed skating champion and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova.

"I do not know what it was: enrichment or not enrichment, deception or not deception. An investigation is underway, and if Roman Repilov is detained, it means that law enforcement agencies have certain questions for him not as an athlete, but as an individual entrepreneur. But if he violated the law, then his merits no longer play any role," she said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
