An international sports tribunal known as the Court of Arbitration for Sport begins a hearing today in Lausanne, Switzerland, that's expected to finally settle a doping scandal that shook the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The crisis in the figure skating world actually began a few weeks before the Beijing Games opened. Kamila Valieva — then a 15-year-old superstar — competed at a national event in St. Petersburg, Russia, in December 2021.
