CAS will not ask Valieva for permission to publish the decision in her case
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has made a new statement in the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. The organization’s commentary is provided by TASS.
The court will not ask Valieva, who is a protected person due to her age, for permission to publish the decision in her case. “The final decision will be made public,” CAS emphasized. In this case, the parties will be able to independently apply to the court with a request to keep some of the information confidential, but only to the extent that will not affect the meaning or understanding of the verdict.
Hearings in Valieva’s case ended at CAS on November 10. A final decision is expected in January 2024.
At the 2022 Olympic Games, Valieva won gold in the team competition, but the Russian team was 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, CAS allowed her to participate in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place.
