Athletistic/Others. Dmitry Guberniev, presenter and commentator of Match TV, expressed the opinion that he does not foresee a positive outcome in the verdict of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of figure skater Kamila Valieva.

At the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Valieva helped the Russian team win gold in the team competition. However, before her personal performance, it became known that the banned drug trimetazidine was found during the doping test of the Russian Championship figure skater. CAS allowed Valieva to participate in individual competitions, where she took fourth place. The award ceremony for the Olympic medalists in the team tournament has not yet taken place.

— What decision will the CAS make in Valieva’s case?

— It’s difficult to predict here. This can be a positive or negative result. Either we will remain Olympic champions or we will not. Personally, I do not expect a good result in this case,” Guberniev said in an interview with Match TV.
