She has nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't understand why she should move to another country. Everyone knows who she is, everyone knows she was cleared of cheating (deliberately or accidentally).
If her coach doesn't suit her, sure a new coach might be good. But why leave her home? She did nothing wrong.

I don't think she should move to another country either. Competition and training is tough, she's under much scrutiny. She should have the support of family and close friends nearby.

Most likely she has good support of some key family and friends.

I knew my comment sounded strange...many people leave a country to live permanently elsewhere in a different culture/country faraway --even often leaving behind loving, supportive family members and friends. To begin the next stage of their life in...a different, freer way, away from frequent scrutiny/nosiness even if they have done nothing wrong.
This is all conjecture, of course.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I hope she does whatever makes her happy and that she's happy, whatever she does.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
