He commented on Iman Khalifa's performance at the Olympics and the speculation surrounding her gender. “The IOC has quite well given an explanation with all the medical data.

„The very concept of an immunostimulant that is used by people and advertisements. Actually, our immune system functions well – she can't get tired of a lot of work. There is no evidence for true immunostimulants beyond normal eating, sleeping and exercise. Our immunity can suffer if we don't eat well and don't get enough sleep. My request is that they be careful with these endless ads for nutritional supplements. For them, there is no evidence that it has an effect. Even natural products may not be useful for the body,”, advised Dr. Iliev. According to him, if there is no proven medical deficiency of a given vitamin, its intake is not necessary.
