Russia skated to gold before it was revealed Valieva had tested positive for a banned heart medicine
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed a Canadian appeal of the International Skating Union’s decision to award the bronze medal in the team figure skating event from the 2022 Beijing Olympics to Russia.
“The COC is disappointed with the decision by CAS to not award Canada the bronze medal for the figure skating team event at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games,” the Canadian Olympic Committee said in a statement following the ruling. Her disqualification removed Valieva’s maximum 10 points from each of her two events, but that still gave Russia one more point than fourth-place Canada in the revised standings.
The CAS heard the Canadian appeal on July 22, and after deliberating it concluded that Valieva’s points were correctly disqualified “without any possibility in the ISU Rules to reallocate points in favour of Team Canada.” No medals were awarded 2 1/2 years ago in Beijing after the then-15-year-old Valieva helped her team win the competition.
