GENEVA - The Russian Olympic Committee said on Tuesday it would appeal against a decision by the International Skating Union that stripped it of a gold medal in the 2022 Olympic figure skating event following Kamila Valieva's doping suspension.
"The Russian Olympic Committee will definitely appeal to CAS (the Court of Arbitration for Sport) on the ISU decision to revise the final standings in the team figure event at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing," ROC said. REUTERS
