"IOC Upholds Suspension of Russian Olympic Committee"

The Russian Olympic Committee has lost its appeal against suspension by the International Olympic Committee, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissing the appeal. The suspension was imposed due to the ROC incorporating four sports bodies representing regions of eastern Ukraine, which the IOC deemed a breach of the Olympic Charter. As a result, Russia remains barred from entering athletes for the Paris Olympics under its own flag, and the suspension doesn't stop the IOC's efforts for Russians to compete as neutral athletes without national symbols. The ROC can appeal to the Swiss supreme court but has not yet indicated if it plans to do so.

"Russian Skater Kamila Valieva Banned for Doping, Loses Olympic Titles"

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been banned for four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after testing positive for a banned substance. All of Valieva’s results achieved after her failed test have been stripped from the record books, and it is likely that the Russian team will be stripped of their gold medal in the team event. The ruling comes after a media storm during the 2022 Winter Olympics, where Valieva's legal team claimed her positive drug test may have come from a contaminated glass of water. The decision has been welcomed by the US Anti-Doping Agency, which has called for necessary reforms to prevent similar incidents in the future.

"Kamila Valieva Receives Four-Year Doping Ban, Impacting Olympic Figure Skating"

The Court for Arbitration of Sport (CAS) has banned Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva from international competition through December 2025 after finding that she committed an anti-doping rule violation. This ruling disqualifies her from all competitions where she medaled, including the 2022 Winter Games, and may lead to a redistribution of medals. The decision sheds light on Russia's history of doping in sports and comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding Russian athletes' participation in international competitions.
