Now Anna Shcherbakova has become the new European champion, and Alexandra Trusova is the silver medalist, with Belgian Luna Hendricks taking bronze.
This decision is related to Valieva’s four-year disqualification.
On December 25, 2021, at the Russian Championship, the athlete passed a positive doping test for the banned drug trimetazidine.
This became known after the team tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where the figure skater won a gold medal as part of the Russian team. By that time, Valieva had also won the European Championships, held in January 2022.
Earlier in the United States, after Valieva’s disqualification, they said that pure sport had won.
