Summary
Kamila Valieva’s neutral status has been revoked, ending her eligibility to compete internationally under the new ISU rules that previously granted Russian and Belarusian skaters automatic neutral status unless disqualified. The move also impacts fellow Russian skater Mark Kondratiuk, who competed alongside her at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Valieva, once a gold-medal-winning star, was later disqualified after a doping violation surfaced — a scandal that cost her individual medal hopes and handed the U.S. team the top spot. Her ban expired in December 2025, and she’s since competed domestically in Russia. The ISU’s decision follows a complex set of criteria disqualifying athletes tied to military involvement or war support. A final ruling on their appeals is expected mid-next week, with the option to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if needed.
