ISU Revokes Neutral Status for Russian Skaters
x/kamila-valieva
— Sep 8, 2026
Kamila Valieva’s neutral-athlete status has been revoked by the ISU, barring her from international competition, a move that also affects fellow Russians Kondratiuk, Stepanova, and Bukin as part of ongoing scrutiny of athletes connected to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The ISU’s neutral-status criteria require no military affiliation, no wartime participation, and no public support for the war, with Valieva and others poised to appeal to CAS as Russia and Belarus continue to challenge the decision.

ISU revokes neutral status for Valieva and Kondratiuk amid war concerns
x/kamila-valieva
— Sep 5, 2026
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has had her neutral athlete status revoked by the ISU, barring her from competing internationally for now as the organization reviews potential breaches tied to previously supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine, with appeals possible to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Her teammate Mark Kondratiuk is also affected, and the ISU-ordered appeals are due by mid-next week, with CAS as the next recourse if unchanged.

Feels like the doping saga wasn't enough, now this. CAS is going to be busy with Russian skaters for years.
