Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s long-running doping case finally has dates for a hearing

The long-running doping case involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva could finally be decided after dates were set Thursday for a hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Valieva’s positive test for a banned heart medication in December 2021 was revealed at the Beijing Olympics several weeks later. The World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Skating Union appealed to CAS after a Russian tribunal ruled Valieva was not at fault. The Russian national anti-doping agency has also joined the case by filing an appeal, but it has indicated a reprimand would be sufficient, a verdict that would leave Valieva and the Russian team as Olympic gold medalists.
