The end of the Kamila Valieva soap opera finally seems near. According to Veronika Loginova, the director of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), the hearings on the results of the investigation carried out into the young Russian skater after the doping case at the Beijing 2022 Games are “ tentatively » planned for the month of October. The Russian leader explained this on Wednesday September 28, on the sidelines of a forum entitled “ Russia – A Sporting Power“, organized in the city of Kemerovo: “ We must follow a procedure for processing the results, which prevents us from giving a precise date. The investigation focused on the personnel involved, including management. The date for announcing the result is tentatively set for October. » Veronika Loginova clarified that it was difficult, at this stage of the case, to predict the nature of a possible sanction, or the duration of the suspension of the young skater. But, surprisingly, she suggested that the age of Kamila Valieva, 15 years old at the time of the events, 16 years old today, could lead RUSADA not to make public the result of the hearings. The Russian skater returned to competition last week in Moscow, as part of the Russian team's national tests. According to Russian media, his two programs, short and free, directly evoke the doping affair at the Beijing Games.
