The International Skating Union (ISU) is appealing the lifting of the temporary suspension of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva from the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. This was reported on the website of the organization.
The ISU said they would exercise their right to apply to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to resolve the issue in the athlete’s case. They want to ensure that Valieva is again suspended from the Olympics.

Earlier on February 11, it became known that the International Olympic Committee had filed an appeal with CAS against the decision of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) to lift the temporary suspension from the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing Valieva. The reason was the positive result of the athlete on trimetazidine, found in the sample dated December 25. Her case will be considered by a special commission before the start of the individual tournament at the Games.
Valieva’s dubious doping test became known on February 9. In this regard, the IOC has postponed the award ceremony of the Olympic team tournament.
