INSIDE International Skating Union (ISU) decided to issue a statement on January 30 about figure skater Kamila Valieva, who was sentenced to a four-year suspension by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
“ISU welcomed the CAS decision. ISU will publish a full statement on the consequences of the CAS decision on January 30, 2024.” expressions were used.
On December 25, 2021, the banned substance trimetazidine was found in the sample taken from the athlete at the Russian Championship. The fact that the test gave a positive result became clear at the 2022 Olympics after Russia’s victory in the team tournament.
At the same time, CAS allowed Valieva to participate in the individual tournament, with the condition that the award ceremony would not take place if the skater won a medal. Valieva took the lead after the short program, but made a number of serious mistakes in the free skate, which ultimately allowed her to take fourth place.
Previously Inna Goncharenko in the name Valiev appreciates the support of fans.
