After doping ban
Scandalous figure skater plans comeback
Russian figure skater Kamila Valiyeva has announced her comeback after the end of her four-year doping ban.
The 18-year-old has now made the announcement. Valiyeva had tested positive for the heart medication trimetazidine before the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. She had initially won gold with the team at the Games. A retroactive ban was imposed on her in January.
"It's probably stupid"
"Of course I'm thinking about returning to the sport, but that's not the end," Valiyeva told journalists, as reported by the state news agency RIA Novosti. She added: "Giving up a sports career at such a young age is probably stupid. I will do everything I can to bring joy back to the spectators, myself, my coaches and, of course, all my fans."
Valiyeva will not be allowed to participate in international competitions again until the end of 2025. The start of her ban was retroactively dated to December 25, 2021, and all results after this date have been deleted.
