Kamila Valieva made her first public appearance after being disqualified for doping
Figure skater Kamila Valieva attended the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) match between CSKA Moscow and Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Photos from the event appeared on the Telegram channel of singer Ian Osin.
“Today our wonderful figure skater Kamila Valieva came to the game “Torpedo” – CSKA. She supported Torpedo, and we all supported her in this situation,” he signed the joint photo. This is the athlete’s first appearance in public after her disqualification.
On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The period of suspension starts on December 25, 2021. The athlete was stripped of gold for winning the team tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games as part of the Russian team. In addition, she was left without the Russian and European champion titles.
The doping scandal surrounding Valieva unfolded during the Beijing Olympics. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
