The World Anti-Doping Agency is seeking a four-year ban and disqualification of all of figure skater Kamila Valieva’s results from the date of the sample collection
The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the case of figure skater Kamila Valieva to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Tuesday after a Russian investigation found the teenager not guilty of any doping infraction.
“WADA considers the finding by the disciplinary tribunal of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency that the athlete bore “no fault or negligence” to be wrong under the terms of the World Anti-Doping Code in this case and has exercised its right to lodge an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” said WADA in a brief statement.
In her defence, Valieva said the positive test was the result of a mix-up with her grandfather’s heart medication. Despite the positive test, CAS had cleared Valieva to continue competing at the Beijing Games in the women’s singles, upholding an earlier decision by RUSADA to lift a ban on the skater.
