Athletistic / Figure skating. Sports lawyer Anna Antseliovich commented on developments in the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has finished examining the Russian’s case. The final verdict will be delivered in January 2024.

“I think the decision will really be in January, if I understand correctly, they want to make a decision before the next anniversary of the Olympics, which took place in 2022. Making a decision in two months is very fast for the CAS.

I think that the referees are under pressure from the public, from the federations, from the athletes, and that the matter has dragged on for a long time. Everyone is waiting for a decision on the fate of the Olympic gold, a large number of parties are interested, so I think the CAS does not want to drag this matter out any further,” the TASS lawyer quotes.
