Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva disqualified for four years for violating anti-doping rules. CAS noted that the Russian woman was unable to prove that the prohibited substance entered her body unintentionally.
In Russia, the incident was compared to a demonstrative flogging, and lawyer Anna Antseliovich called the punishment unnecessarily harsh. The fate of the medals in the team tournament of the Olympic Games 2022 has now actually been determined. The domestic team, which included Mark Kondratyuk, Anastasia Mishina, Alexander Gallyamov and Victoria Sinitsina, will be deprived of gold by ISU.
