The Atropova "case" is cyclically brought up again, and those who do so, as always, do so by passing off inaccurate information or personal opinions as if they were facts...
Antropova has never played for any Russian club or any Russian national team. The call-up to the Russian U16 national team that's constantly being referenced is invalid, because she refused it and never showed up for the training camp, and has never played for that national team. Russia attempted to appeal, but the TAS/CAS ruled against them...
Antropova is not a naturalized athlete, but an Italian athlete. She has lived in Italy and has trained there since she was 14, and her first (and only) volleyball sports license was Italian. PERIOD.
Carutasu, on the other hand, played for all the Romanian youth national teams and represented the senior national team until the 2021 European Championships.
Two completely different cases...
