More than eight months after Kamila Valieva’s positive drug test rocked the Beijing Olympics, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency said Friday it will not divulge any information about her hearings, the decision or any other details about her case, prompting U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart to blast the process as a “mockery” and call for immediate action from the International Olympic Committee and other organizations.
“The World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Skating Union and the IOC should immediately announce an appeal of any decision and hold an open process, as the rules provide, so that there is confidence in the final outcome,” Tygart texted USA TODAY Sports Friday morning.
