Russian skater’s strawberry dessert excuse was rejected by judges.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected the appeal of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who blamed a strawberry dessert for her positive doping test. CAS upheld the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) appeal and imposed a four-year ban on Valieva. Consequently, the Russian team's Olympic title was stripped, promoting the United States to first place, Japan to second, and demoting Russia to third. The International Skating Union will decide the results of the 2022 Olympic figure skating team event.
