Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:23:06 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva will give evidence by video link for a hearing this month into her doping case that rocked the 2022 Beijing Olympics. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Friday that Valieva and officials from the Russian anti-doping agency are among “parties, witnesses and experts” giving testimony remotely at a closed-door hearing in Lausanne from Sept. 26-29.The World Anti-Doping Agency is seeking a four-year ban for Valieva, though a verdict could take months.“At this juncture, it is not possible to indicate when the final decision will be announced,” the court said in a statement detailing the expected process.Valieva came into the Beijing Games as a 15-year-old gold-medal favorite, before her positive test for a banned heart medication was revealed.She was allowed by an emergency CAS panel to continue skating pending a full investigation, but placed fourth after an error-filled program. After a Russian tribunal eventually ruled last year t...

Germany to reshape its sports system after World Cup-winning basketball team defies rankings

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:23:06 GMT

HERZOGENAURACH, Germany (AP) — German politicians published planned reforms to the country’s sports system on Friday, seeking to stem a long-term slide down the Olympic medals table.The changes come less than a week after Germany won the Basketball World Cup despite a key government-backed ranking listing the game as having the lowest potential for success of any sport on the Summer Olympic program. That increased calls to rethink the system.“German competitive sport is currently largely unable to fulfill its ambition to be competitive with the world’s best,” said a declaration issued Friday following a meeting of sports ministers from Germany’s states. “Negative developments with regard to the results of German athletes in international competitions continue despite individual bright spots like winning the Basketball World Cup. Funding structures in elite sport require fundamental change.”Germany went from winning 82 medals at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics — t...
