Wada can return to resume to Tas – Major Events

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne if it is not satisfied with the in-depth investigation announced by Russia’s Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) into the entourage of 15-year-old Russian snowboarder Camila Valeeva who was found on 25 Last December positive for a substance banned under world anti-doping law but competed in the Games (and first after the short ice skating program) because the Tas Olympic designated division decided the venue for a variety of reasons not to suspend the athlete. WADA, which appealed to restore the suspension, was defeated by a Tasks arbitration in the Valieva case.
Wada itself will launch an independent investigation of technical personnel, and therefore unprotected persons because they are over 16 years old, which deals with Valieva.

There is talk of coaches Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov, choreographer Daniil Gleikhengauz and maybe even a doctor. “We are asking (Rusada) to complete a thorough investigation into the entourage, and we will look into the matter while making sure a proper investigation is conducted,” said Wada president Witold Banca, adding, “I want to prevent all perpetrators for life.” Then Banka said: “We still have the older generation of coaches and doctors working with children and athletes, so it is our strong demand that the Russian Ministry of Sports change this situation.”

In the United States, new laws allow prosecutors to demand fines of up to $1 million and prison sentences of up to 10 years, even for non-Americans, if their illegal practices have affected the results of American athletes.
