The IOC president did not name Valieva's coach, Eteri Tutberidze, who was seen on camera telling a visibly upset Valieva 바카라Why did you let it go? Why did you stop fighting?바카라 

Bach says 바카라you could feel this chilling atmosphere, this distance.바카라 

Tutberidze and other members of Valieva's entourage will be investigated over the teenager's positive test for a heart medication ahead of the Olympics. 

Bach says the pressure on Valieva was 바카라beyond my imagination.바카라
