Olympic doping case involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva starts in Switzerland
- The doping case involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at the 2022 Beijing Olympics has returned to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Valieva, who was 15 at the time, tested positive for a banned substance. The case has been slow-walked in Russia, and a verdict may be delivered before the end of the year.
- The World Anti-Doping Agency has requested a four-year ban for Valieva and her disqualification from the Olympics. Valieva's positive test came to light on the same day she helped the Russian Olympic Committee win the team event title in Beijing.
- Despite the positive test, the Russian anti-doping agency found that Valieva bore no fault or negligence. The International Skating Union has banned Russian skaters due to the country's invasion of Ukraine, preventing Valieva from competing internationally.
