In January, a RUSADA Disciplinary Committee ruled that Valieva testing positive for trimetazidine was through no “no fault or negligence” of hers and disqualified the results at the Russian Championships on December 25 2021, the date of sample collection.

However, WADA, RUSADA and the ISU have appealed seeking further sanctions.

WADA wants a four-year ban for Valieva, including disqualification of her results at Beijing 2022.
