At the end of January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. On Wednesday, it became known that the Swiss Federal Court had rejected an appeal against the CAS decision regarding disqualification.
“Among the measures taken, this appeal was the last possible option. The Swiss court did not examine the merits of the case, but only examined the question of procedural defects. There is no possibility of going further. The decision is final and has entered into force.
— In other words, Valieva does not have the possibility of applying to any court and can only accept the decision?
“Yes,” Antseliovich told .
