President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (RFSR) Elena Vyalbe told that the organization will not appeal the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to suspend Maria Gushchina .
On Tuesday, the press service of the Russian Anti-Doping Committee (RUSADA) reported that CAS had disqualified Gushchina for 12 months, with the 34-year-old athlete’s suspension period beginning on October 27, 2023.
