Director General of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Veronika Loginova said that the organization trusted the British lawyer Graham Arthur, who represented the interests of figure skater Kamila Valieva in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). “Sports Express”.
“We have been working with Graham Arthur for many years. We absolutely trust his experience and qualifications. That is why we entrusted him with the task of representing RUSADA in this matter,” said Loginova.
A doping scandal broke out around Kamila Valieva during the 2022 Olympics. A banned substance was found in the sample taken by the athlete in December 2021. They wanted to disqualify him from participating in the Games. Literally a day before the start of the women’s individual competition, it was decided to admit her to the tournament.
He did not win a medal in the individual tournament, but took first place in the team championship. In case of a positive decision, the Russian team could lose its team tournament medal. New CAS hearings in the Valieva case will be held on 9 and 10 November.
