Athletistic/ Figure Skating. At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who was part of Russia’s winning team in the team tournament, was suspected of violating anti-doping rules. The final verdict in the Valieva case has not yet been adopted. WADA appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). They intend to review Valieva’s case at the end of September. The IOC has expressed its position on this.

– Since this is a drug test that was conducted outside of the Olympics, but affects the results of the team and individual figure skating competitions at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the CIO hopes the case will be resolved as soon as possible. It is also in the interest of all parties involved, especially the athletes who have yet to receive their Beijing 2022 medals.

Only the closure of the case will allow the International Skating Union to establish the final results of the team figure skating competitions at these Games, and the IOC to decide on the distribution of medals, the committee said in response. to a request from Match TV.
