Controversial figure skater Kamila Valieva is set to return to competition this weekend in Russia – with a doping case still hanging over her

The 15-year-old crashed out of medal contention in the women’s singles at February’s 2022 Winter Olympics.

She was allowed to compete despite a failed drugs test after she had helped the Russian Olympic Committee win the team event.

She is now set to compete in the Channel One Cup in Russia, which is only open to Russian citizens.

It comes as figure skaters from Russia and Belarus are banned from the World Championships in France, because of sanctions imposed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
