Kamila Valieva will be among those to testify via video link in her doping case as the Russian teenage figure skating sensation fights for the right to compete again at the Beijing Olympics.
Valieva’s case will be heard by a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) panel in Beijing on Sunday evening local time, with a decision expected on Monday – just one day before the 15-year-old gold medal favorite is due to line up in the ladies’ singles event in the Chinese capital.
“The athlete will be online and she will testify,” CAS director general Matthieu Reeb said just ahead of the hearing, which was due to start at 20:30 local time.
“We suppose she will speak in Russian, and we have an interpreter,” Reeb added, according to the AP.
