The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is seeking a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on an anti-doping case against Russian figure skater Kamila Valiyeva. WADA says Valiyeva should be found guilty and disqualified for four years dating back to December 25, 2021, the date she tested positive for a banned drug. Valiyeva helped Russia win the team event at the 2022 Winter Games before it was revealed she had failed the test. She stands to lose that gold medal and two others won in international competitions if the CAS rules in favor of WADA's appeal. To read the original story from RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
