- Figure skater cleared by a Russian Anti-Doping Agency tribunal
- Wada hints it could take case to court of arbitration for sport

That is unlikely to be the end of the matter, however, with the World Anti-Doping Agency expressing its “concern” at the decision – before hinting that it could challenge the ruling at the court of arbitration for sport (Cas).
