The International Skating Union (ISU) has appreciated the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) exit panel to lift the temporary suspension from the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. The application is available on the organization’s website.
The ISU said they are aware of the decision to allow the athlete to participate in the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing and are now waiting to receive documents substantiating the decision. “The ISU will respect the decision by which Valieva’s suspension remains lifted,” the organization said in a statement.

Earlier on February 14, CAS lifted Valieva’s temporary suspension. The figure skater was allowed to participate in the individual tournament at the Olympic Games. The reason was the status of the “protected person” of the athlete and the late notification of a positive doping test.
Valieva’s dubious doping test became known on February 9. In this regard, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has postponed the awards 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.
