Russian Figure Skater Kamila Valieva Receives Four-Year Doping Ban

Published: 29 January 2024 at 16:35

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been banned for four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after failing a doping test prior to the 2022 Winter Olympics. The ban disqualifies all competitive results of Valieva from December 25, 2021, and includes forfeiture of titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) condemned the doping of minors and called for action against those who provided performance-enhancing substances. The Kremlin criticized the decision, describing it as politicized.
