Banka tweets that he has officially referred Valieva's case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
\"Despite putting RUSADA under formal notice to resolve the Kamila Valieva case promptly, no progress was made,\" he wrote. \"Therefore, I can confirm WADA has now officially referred it directly to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.\"

The Russian Anti-Doping Agency finally issues its ruling in the Valieva case, saying she committed a doping violation, but had \"no fault or negligence\" for the failed test.
The agency imposed no sanctions other than to disqualify Valieva from the results of the Russian championships when she tested positive.
The World Anti-Doping Agency responds, saying it has requested the full ruling \"in order to determine whether the ruling is in line with the terms of the World Anti-Doping Code.\"
\"However, based on the elements of the case with which WADA is already familiar, the Agency is concerned by the finding of 'no fault or negligence' and will not hesitate to exercise its right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, as appropriate,\" WADA said in a statement.

U.S. Figure Skating releases a statement ahead of the one-year anniversary of the 2022 Beijing Games and how they are frustrated with the lack of a final decision.
\"As we approach the one-year anniversary of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, U.S. Figure Skating and its athletes are deeply frustrated by the lack of a final decision in the Team Event,\" the governing body wrote. \"We're very proud of how our Olympic medalists have carried themselves with poise and dignity since earning medals in Beijing. They have long deserved the recognition that has been withheld due to the ongoing process. U.S. Figure Skating calls for a fair and appropriate ruling to rightfully award medals to all clean sport athletes affected by this situation.\"

In a bizarre change of events, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency appeals its own disciplinary panel's decision that Valieva bore \"no fault or negligence\" for her positive test in December 2021 for trimetazidine.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has now registered appeals by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, the International Skating Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency against the decision issued by RUSADA's disciplinary commission on Dec. 14, 2022.
RUSADA is now asking CAS to sanction Valieva with \"the appropriate consequences (which may include or be limited to a reprimand) in respect if such Anti-Doping Rule Violations pursuant to the RUSADA Anti-Doping Rules.\"
While the ISU is looking for CAS to Valieva to be ineligible for a period of time, at the discretion of CAS, starting from Dec. 25, 2021, and all results achieved by her at the time.
As for WADA, they are seeking a ruling from CAS for Valieva to be ineligible for four years, as well as disqualify all competitive results from the date of the positive test.
Sept. 25, 2023
The Court of Arbitration for Sport begins three days of hearings at CAS Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, hearing the cases involving the Association Russian Anti-Doping Agency, the International Skating Union, the World Anti-Doping Agency and Kamila Valieva.
The hearings were not public, as requested by all parties, the CAS said.
Sept. 28, 2023
After three days of testimony, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announces a delay in its proceedings, saying after the presentation of evidence by the parties involved, the panel requested further documentation and time to consider and address the documents.
\"U.S. Figure Skating is profoundly disheartened by the news of a delay in the CAS hearing,\" Tracy Marek, CEO of U.S. Figure Skating, said in a statement. \"While we recognize the inherent complexities and time requirements of legal processes, the nearly 600-day wait without a resolution is undeniably another painful setback for our dedicated athletes. We emphasize the importance of transparency in this matter, as it greatly impacts our athletes.\"
Nov. 9, 2023
The final hearings conclude in Valieva's case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
\"The parties have been informed that the CAS Panel in charge of the matter will now deliberate and prepare the Arbitral Award containing the decision and grounds which is expected to be notified to the parties by the end of January 2024,\" the CAS said in a statement.
Jan. 29, 2024
The Court of Arbitration for Sport rules that Valieva committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation by failing her test at the Russian Figure Skating Championships in December 2021 and is given a four-year ban from the sport.
\"All competitive results of Ms Valieva from 25 December 2021 are disqualified, with all the resulting consequences (including forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money),\" the CAS wrote in its decision.
The International Skating Union then decided to strip the gold medals from Russia for the team event and hand the gold to the second-place team: the United States.
\"Today, through the CAS decision, clean sport has won,\" Marek said in a statement. \"Our nine Olympic medalists -- Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou, Karen Chen, Alexa Knierim, Brandon Frazier, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue -- are to be celebrated for their integrity and leadership in calling for a fair and level playing field that ensures clean competition, where competitive advantage is only achieved through dedication, hard work and abiding by the rules of sport.\"

Valieva was also disqualified from her win at the European Championships, which gave Shcherbakova the gold there as well.
Jan. 30, 2024
The Russian Olympic Committee says it will appeal the decision
\"The Russian Olympic Committee will definitely appeal the ISU's decision to change the final standing of the figure skating team event at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing in the CAS,\" the ROC said in a statement.
The ROC added, \"In fact, war has been declared on Russian sports, and, as we see, all means are good in it.\"
