Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva faces a potential four-year ban which would rule her out of the 2026 Winter in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said Monday.CAS said it had registered an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency, which said last week it was taking the case to the Switzerland-based tribunal. WADA argues Russian officials have not made progress in resolving the 16-year-old Valieva's case nearly a year after she tested positive for a heart medication banned in sports.The CAS statement said WADA is seeking 'the athlete be sanctioned with a four-year period of ineligibility starting on the date on which the CAS award enters into force.' If granted, that would cover the next Olympics in Italy.
