The doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva is set to resume for two days in November ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The case was initially opened in 2019 after the International Skating Union (ISU) received information that Valieva had tested positive for a banned substance.
Valieva is a 15-year-old Russian figure skater who is considered one of the top contenders for a medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics. She is the reigning Junior Grand Prix Final champion and is the current European silver medalist.
The case will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on November 11 and 12. The hearing will determine whether Valieva will be allowed to compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. If she is found guilty of doping, she could face a ban from the Games.
Valieva has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that she has never taken any banned substances. She has also said that she is confident that she will be cleared of any wrongdoing and will be allowed to compete at the Olympics.
The case has attracted a lot of attention in Russia, as Valieva is seen as a symbol of hope for the country’s future in figure skating. Many Russian fans are hoping that she will be cleared and allowed to compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The outcome of this case could have a major impact on Valieva’s career and on the future of figure skating in Russia. It will be interesting to see how the CAS rules on this case and what the implications will be for Valieva and for Russian figure skating.
