The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that she was banned from international competitions for four years, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/29\/world\/europe\/kamila-valieva-russia-doping-figure-skating.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Valieva took the skating world by storm, smashing records and winning gold in both domestic and international competitions throughout her career, however, her guilty ruling, based on a doping test taken on December 25, 2021, put an eventual end to her reign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valieva tested positive for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">trimetazidine, a medication used to treat heart-related conditions, as it metabolizes fatty acids to help the body use oxygen, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\/medicines\/human\/referrals\/trimetazidine\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">European Medicines Agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in a case involving <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), International Skating Union (ISU) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> came to the long-awaited decision on the skater\u2019s case, hitting her with a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4-year ban from the sport, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/01\/30\/sport\/trimetazidine-what-is-the-competition-banned-drug-that-russian-figure-skater-kamila-valieva-tested-positive-for\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As the investigation unfolded As at the beginning of the Beijing Olympics, Valieva was initially not to be named due to her status as a protected minor, however just days after the initial news broke it was leaked that she was the culprit. In her defense presented to CAS, it was said that trimetazidine entered Valieva\u2019s system via a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strawberry cake her grandfather prepared for her prior to the 2021 Russian National Championships, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/winter-sports\/68234345\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Allegedly he prepared the dessert on the same cutting board he used to crush up his medications,\u00a0 thus contaminating the cake entering Valieva\u2019s system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CAS decision stated that Valieva was \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">an honest, straightforward and credible witness<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d but her defense had no concrete evidence and lots of shortcomings, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/kamila-valieva-strawberry-dessert-doping-ban-russian-skater-olympics-rcna137862\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cThere are too many shortcomings in the evidence, and too many unanswered questions, for the panel to decide that her account is more likely than not,\u201d the court said. As a result, CAS upheld WADA\u2019s prior proposition to instate a 4-year ban. Many experts believe this ban could have been shorter if Valieva\u2019s defense was more plausible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite Valieva\u2019s case coming to light during the Olympics, her protected person status allowed her to continue competing in the Games, as no verdict held her guilty yet. She participated in the team event, where Russia was initially deemed victorious over the United States and Japan. At the time medals were not rewarded for the event due to the delicate circumstances of the competition. Following CAS\u2019 ruling, The International Skating Union (ISU) released a statement that disqualified Valieva\u2019s participation in the team event, redistributing medals based on points acquired by her teammates. This changed the awards of the event to United States- gold, Japan- silver, Russian Olympic Committee (ROC)- bronze. The ruling was controversial, despite removing the ROC\u2019s 10 points earned by Valieva, it did not bump up other ladies\u00a0 or add points to their respective team\u2019s results, which would have actually given Canada the bronze medal. The ISU<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">defended their decision in a later statement despite pushback from national federations, saying they based their decision on\u00a0 a comprehensive review of the tournament rules, reports the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/olympics-figure-skating-medals-doping-456d32614db09b7b31a2b67c5d6a0e08\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valieva also competed in the individual event days later, where she was a heavy favorite for the gold medal. Despite this, pressure surrounding her case was likely the cause of Valieva\u2019s messy performances, leading her to place 4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> overall. Her teammates Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova placed 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> , respectively; the girls trained at the same rink under infamous coach Eteri Tutberidze. Tutberidze\u2019s students have dominated the international scene for years. However, their reign is now limited to the domestic circuit as the International Skating Union upholds a ban against Russian athletes due to the Russo-Ukrainian war. Tutberidze is an extremely<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">controversial coach at the center of many abuse cases resulting in lifelong injuries for former students due to her coaching methods, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/us-sports-news-olympics-news-ice-skating-news-kamila-valieva-doping-case-who-is-the-controversial-russian-coach-involved-in-four-year-ban\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Essentially Sports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. While many figure skating fans hoped Tutberidze and her team would face punishment in the wake of Valieva\u2019s case, they have remained untouched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, CAS\u2019 ruling stripped Valieva of all results and records, both internationally and domestically, since December 25, 2021, which include her 2021 Russian National Championships gold, 2022 European Championships gold (and world records set at the event), her 2022 Olympic results, and all domestic results after the Russian ban. Per RUSADA protocol, Valieva is unable to train or perform at state-sponsored facilities, which make up an overwhelming majority of rinks in the nation. The ban and a combination of other factors will likely mark the end of 17-year-old Valieva\u2019s once-golden career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Per RUSADA protocol, Valieva is unable to train or perform at state-sponsored facilities, which make up an overwhelming majority of rinks in the nation.
