Director General of the Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) of Russia Alexander Kogan issued a statement on the decision of the exit panel of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to lift the temporary suspension from the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
“We are very pleased that common sense and justice have prevailed. The girl will be able to show all the best that she is capable of. So the emotions are extremely positive, ”Kogan said. The head of the FFKKR emphasized that the hearings on the case took a very long time, and expressed the hope that Valieva would be able to get back together after psychological tests.

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.
The women’s short program will take place on 15 February. Valieva will perform under the 26th number. The tournament starts at 13:30 Moscow time.
