Todorova was a witness in a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) case involving an event where she had judged, the 2024 European Championships, where it was alleged that the president of the superior jury, Evangelia Trikomiti, had manipulated scores to decide which gymnast won the 2024 Summer Olympics quota available at the competition. Todorova was criticized in the CAS decision for giving misleading answers to questions that denied that she was engaged to Trikomiti's son, the father of her child, as well as for being an uncooperative witness.
