Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva will miss the spring tour of the Eteri Tutberidze team. This was reported on Instagram (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; it belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned) specialist
The coach group wrote that additional information about the lineup for the tour will be published in advance for each city.
On January 31, Valieva interrupted training with Tutberidze due to the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to disqualify her. The 17-year-old athlete was required to do this due to a four-year ban, as she cannot train with public money.
On January 29, CAS disqualified Valieva for four years. The period of suspension starts on December 25, 2021. According to the court, Valieva could not prove that she took doping unintentionally.
The doping scandal surrounding Valieva unfolded at the 2022 Olympic Games. 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.
