CAS will rule on the case of Russian figure skater Valieva in January 2024
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has completed hearings into the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. This is reported on the organization’s website.
The court announced that the final decision in the athlete’s case will be made in January 2024. “The parties have been informed that the CAS panel responsible for this matter will now consider and prepare a decision and reasons,” the statement said.
The hearings took place in two stages: from September 26 to 28 and from November 9 to 10. During the event, four parties spoke: the skater herself, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Skating Union and the Russian Anti-Doping Agency.
At the 2022 Olympics, Valieva won gold in the team competition, but the winners – the teams of Russia, the USA and Japan – were not awarded due to the doping scandal involving her. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021. At the same time, Valieva was allowed to take part in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place.
