Kamila Aliyeva remains listed as a member of the Russian national team by official channels, even though the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation has moved to remove her from the roster. This stance appears in reporting from sports news outlets and reflects ongoing administrative procedures that can affect an athlete’s status while sanctions are resolved.
Under the ministry’s rules, if sanctions on athletes involve disqualification or a placement on an expulsion list due to anti-doping violations, such actions are communicated to relevant sports organizations within ten business days. That timeline helps ensure teams and federations can adjust rosters and prepare for upcoming events without delay.
As of now, the formal document detailing the skater’s exclusion from the Russian national team has not been published publicly, leaving some questions about the exact status and next steps until the official notification is issued.
On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued a ruling finding Valieva guilty of doping in a case that has drawn wide attention. The decision temporarily bars the athlete from competing in events through December 2025 and also restricts participation in state facilities used for practice. These provisions aim to uphold competition integrity while the case is reviewed or appealed, if applicable.
Following the disqualification, the International Skating Union (ISU) adjusted the team result from the 2022 Olympic Games, awarding third place to the Russian team in the team event. The modification did not strip Russia of the medal entirely; the United States secured the gold, with the broader national context remaining unchanged for other athletes and teams involved.
Earlier reporting suggested that Kamila Valieva might face a further four-year sanction, a possibility that would extend the period of ineligibility and affect her ability to return to international competition. As the situation evolves, observers note that sanctions and roster decisions can have wide-ranging implications for athletes, coaches, and national sports programs alike. The process continues to unfold through official channels, with updates issued as decisions are confirmed and communicated to the sport’s governing bodies and the public.
