The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has registered appeals from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) against the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA)’s suspension of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s suspension. This was reported on the website of the organization.
“In the near future, a panel of arbitrators will be appointed to resolve this issue. The panel will issue procedural directions, including directions for a hearing,” the CAS said in a statement. Applications from the two organizations will be combined. The date and time of the hearing will be announced later.

On February 11, the International Testing Agency (ITA) officially confirmed that Valieva’s December 25 doping test tested positive for the banned trimetazidine. Her case must be considered before the start of the individual tournament at the Games.
Valieva’s questionable doping test was reported on 9 February. In this regard, the IOC has postponed the award ceremony following the results of the team tournament of the Olympics. The Russian team, which included Valieva, became the winner in this type of program.
