Director General of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Véronique Loginova said that the result of the consideration of the case of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will be announced soon.
— The hearings continue. All parties involved in the process… I believe we will know the outcome of the CAS panel in the near future. I cannot say more precisely, the auditions will continue in November. “I won’t assess the chances,” reports the correspondent, according to Loginova’s words.
At the end of September, the CAS announced that the hearings in the Valieva case had been postponed and would resume on November 9 and 10. Then, closed hearings were held in Lausanne on the appeals of RUSADA, the International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) against the decision of the RUSADA Anti-Doping Disciplinary Committee (DAC). in the case of the athlete.
The CAS heard the case on September 26, 27 and 28. It was planned that, if necessary, the parties would meet on September 29. Valieva, 17, participated in the hearings via video link.
Valieva at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing helped the Russian team win gold in the team competition. Before the personal tournament, it became known that the banned drug trimetazidine was found during the doping test of the figure skater of the Russian championship. The CAS admitted the Russian to the individual competitions of the Games, where she took fourth place. However, the award of the winners of the team tournament has not yet taken place due to the investigation.
In January, DAC RUSADA ruled that even if the athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation, she bore “no fault or negligence”. Valieva avoided sanctions, except for the cancellation of her results on the date of sample collection – December 25, 2021. Subsequently, RUSADA, ISU and WADA filed appeals to the CAS, which were grouped into a single procedure.
