Athletistic/ Figure Skating. At the end of December 2021, Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva passed a positive doping test. The investigation lasted a long time. Accordingly, RUSADA declared the athlete innocent. WADA has decided to appeal RUSADA’s verdict to CAS. The organization demands the disqualification of Valieva for four years. The IOC has issued a statement in this regard.
“The IOC welcomes WADA’s decision to seize the CAS, which brings us one step closer to the end of the process so long awaited by the athletes. Since this case concerns a non-Olympic sample that affected the results of the team and individual figure skating tournaments at the Beijing Olympics, the IOC hopes that the case will be resolved as soon as possible. It is also in the interest of all parties involved, especially athletes who are still unable to receive medals from the Beijing 2022 Games, the IOC said in a statement.
