International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach evaluated the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. His words guide the way TASS.
The IOC President called for the court’s decision to be respected. “This whole incident is another confirmation for us that our findings and demands, which we have expressed many times in doping cases, are important not only for the athletes, but also for the environment in which the athletes need to operate. “It must be investigated further, better and deeper,” Bach said.
The decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to impose a four-year ban on the athlete, starting from December 2021, was announced on January 29.
As part of the Russian national team at the 2022 Olympic Games, Valieva took first place in the team tournament and fourth in the individual championship. After his disqualification, the International Skating Union (ISU) awarded the Russians third place, without depriving Russia of the overall medals. Gold went to the US team and silver went to the Japanese team.
