The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has referred the case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, saying Russian authorities (RUSADA) have failed to cooperate. "Despite putting RUSADA under formal notice to resolve the Kamila Valieva case promptly, no progress was made," WADA chief Witold Banka said in a tweet on November 8. Valiyeva, 15 at the time, tested positive for a banned heart drug after the national championships on December 25, but the result was not revealed until after she helped the Russian Olympic Committee win the team skating competition at the Beijing Games.
