Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS News
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva's attempt to blame her doping ban on her grandfather's strawberry dessert contaminated with heart medication was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which banned her from the sport for four years. The court found too many shortcomings and unanswered questions in the story, leading to the disqualification of her results and the stripping of her team's Olympic title.
