Athletistic/ Figure skating. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the CAS had disqualified Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for 4 years.

“Who are they making worse? They are not only making the situation worse for us, but we should be the main beneficiaries of this policy. In fact, they are killing the sport and making the situation worse for their athletes,” Izvestia Zakharova quotes with reference to the ‘Moscow affair – 24 television channels’.

The CAS suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules.

Previously, it was reported that Valieva was stripped of the title of European champion in 2022. The gold medal was awarded to Anna Shcherbakova.

Remember that Russian figure skaters have been suspended from international competitions since February 2022.
