On November 9-10, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will review the case of figure skater Kamila Valieva, who tested positive for trimetazidine in December 2021.

Here’s translation of Sambo-70 President Renat Laishev regarding Kamila Valieva’s doping case:

“Q: This week, hearings on Valieva’s case will resume. What do you expect from the court’s decision? Do you see any chances for a positive outcome for Russia?

Renat Laishev: So much time has passed that Tutberidze and Valieva can be said to have already won. Since the case has been delayed so much, it means the other side doesn’t know what else to come up with or how to punish Valieva.

Her talent, which they tarnished in Beijing by mistreating the young athlete, is undeniable. As for the announcement of the decision, everyone is already used to the fact that Valieva won the team event, and our figure skater is one of the best in the world, along with Shcherbakova. They were, are, and will be Olympic champions for us,” — said Renat Laishev, the president of “Sambo-70.”
