The scandal has rocked figure skating and cast a shadow over Russia’s embattled anti-doping system.
GENEVA: Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s doping case, a scandal that rocked the sport and cast a shadow over her country’s already embattled anti-doping system, will start to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Tuesday.
“You just can’t possibly attempt to replace what’s been lost by the athletes who right now are holding empty medal boxes.” The International Olympic Committee authorised Valieva to take part in the women’s single event despite her positive test but said medals for the team event would not be allocated until her case was settled.
Rusada, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Skating Union are all challenging this decision at sport’s highest court CAS in Lausanne, Switzerland, in a three-day hearing.Rusada said it was seeking “the appropriate consequences” for the skater’s offence, while Wada wants a four-year ban for Valieva that would include voiding her results from Beijing. This effectively would deny ROC their team event gold medal.
“An open and transparent hearing would go a long way towards helping athletes understand any decision that is rendered,” he said.
