Valieva's attorneys accuse WADA of 'procedural fraud,' ask court to revisit her doping case

Attorneys for Kamila Valieva are appealing to the Swiss Supreme Court, claiming the World Anti-Doping Agency withheld and altered evidence in her doping case, which led to her four-year suspension and disqualification from the 2022 Olympics.
Valieva's legal team argued that evidence from scientist Martial Saugy's experiment, which explores contamination via a strawberry smoothie, was not presented during her hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2023.
WADA spokesman James Fitzgerald stated that any allegations of wrongdoing on WADA's part are 'completely rejected' and maintain that the report would not have influenced the Court's ruling, which relied on a lack of factual evidence.
Valieva's doping suspension will end in late 2025, and she is expected to compete in the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics unless the court decides otherwise.
