It became known about the return of figure skater Kamila Valieva to big-time sports

After the doping scandal, figure skater Kamila Valieva was suspended from competitions for four years. The period of her disqualification will end on December 25, and the athlete will return to big-time sports. This was reported on 1 by the Sport-Express newspaper.

"Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva plans to resume her sports career after completing her four—year suspension from the sport in December this year," the publication says.

According to the newspaper, Valieva decided to resume training at the school "Our hopes" Tatiana Navka under the guidance of the coach of the group Svetlana Sokolovskaya. At the same time, on October 25, the skater's ban on official training, which was imposed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), ends.

At the end of January last year, the CAS found Valieva guilty of violating anti-doping rules. The skater was disqualified for four years for using trimetazidine. Valiyeva's defense was based on the fact that the banned drug could enter her body with the dessert that her grandfather had prepared. The CAS found the version untenable.

The period of ineligibility of the Russian athlete begins on December 25, 2021. All results of the athlete from this date are annulled. In March 2024, she was excluded from the Russian figure skating team.

In July of the same year, the CAS rejected an appeal by the Russian Olympic Committee and the Russian Figure Skating Federation to deprive the figure skaters, including Valieva, of gold at the 2022 Olympics.
