Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been disqualified from the 2022 Olympics, nearly two years after her doping case stirred controversy at the Beijing Games. The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld appeals by the World Anti-Doping Agency, leading to Valieva's four-year ban. The decision is set to strip Russia of the gold medal in figure skating's team event, with the United States expected to be named the new Olympic champion. Valieva's lawyers argued contamination, but the court found she couldn't establish the doping violation wasn't intentional, impacting the results of the event in Beijing.
