Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been banned from the sport until 2025 after it was found she committed an anti-doping rule violation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said Monday. Valieva, who with the Russian Olympic Committee earned gold in the team event at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, will be stripped of any awards she earned since late 2021.
Valieva tested positive for a banned drug, trimetazidine, but the court ruled she could still compete in the Beijing Games as they investigated, which they said would take months.
At the time, the court said they decided to let Valieva, just 15 at the time, compete because she was a minor and had to follow different rules than an adult athlete.
