Kamila Valieva Dropped From Russian National Team Amid Doping Scandal

Kamila Valieva, the 17-year-old Russian figure skater, has been removed from the Russian National Team following her doping scandal at the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Figure Skating Federation of Russia confirmed that Valieva is not on the current national team roster, citing compliance with legislative documents as the reason for her exclusion.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on Jan. 29 to disqualify Valieva for four years due to a violation of anti-doping rules that began on Dec. 25, 2021. This ruling nullified all of her results from that date onwards, including her participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
