The court panel of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on the issue of lifting the temporary suspension from the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. It is published on the website of the organization.
CAS did not uphold the appeals of the IOC, WADA and ISU in the case of Valieva. The Russian figure skater is allowed to participate in the individual tournament at the Olympics.
On February 11, the International Testing Agency officially confirmed that Valieva’s December 25 doping test tested positive for the banned trimetazidine. After that, the IOC and WADA filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision to cancel the temporary suspension of the figure skater from the 2022 Olympics.
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.
