Gallyamov: CAS completed hearings on Russia’s appeals in the Valieva case
Figure skater Alexander Gallyamov reported in his Telegram channel that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has completed hearings on the appeals of the Russian side in the case of Kamila Valieva.
“The hearings have passed. Everyone was as assembled and configured as possible. We hope for a fair decision,” the skater wrote.
On January 29, CAS suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
The period of disqualification starts from December 25, 2021. All the athlete’s results from this date have been cancelled. In particular, Valieva was deprived of gold for winning the team tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing as part of the Russian team.
In January 2023, the RUSADA disciplinary committee, which is a body independent from the main organization, informed WADA of Valieva’s innocence.
