Russian striker “Colorado Avalanche” Valery Nichushkin intends to sue the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) due to a possible disqualification. This was reported on the RIA Novosti Telegram channel.
26-year-old Nichushkin faces a four-year disqualification due to a positive doping test, which was taken back in 2013. Studies have found increased testosterone levels. The doping test was taken before the Sochi Olympics, where Nichushkin took part in the Russian national hockey team. The hockey player does not consider himself guilty of violating anti-doping rules and is ready to defend his case in court.
At the Sochi Olympics, the Russian national team was left without medals in the hockey tournament. The national team took the fifth place in the competition.
Nichushkin is known for his performances for the National Hockey League (NHL) clubs Dallas Stars and Colorado Evalanche. He twice became the silver medalist of the Russian championship, playing for Traktor and CSKA.
Kingston is an accomplished author and journalist, known for his in-depth and engaging writing on sports. He currently works as a writer at 247 News Agency, where he has established himself as a respected voice in the sports industry.
