Russian agency also appeals in Valieva Olympic doping case

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The Russian anti-doping agency has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in the case of Kamila Valieva. The court says the agency asked for the teenage figure skater to be punished with as little as a reprimand for a failed doping test and keep a team gold medal from last year’s Beijing Olympics. CAS confirms registering three separate appeals from the Russian agency RUSADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Skating Union. They are challenging a Russian tribunal ruling that Valieva was not at fault in a case that overshadowed the Beijing Olympics.
