Valieva has not competed in recent years due to disqualification. In January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport banned the figure skater for four years after she found traces of the banned drug trimetazidine during tests in December 2021. She was stripped of gold in the women's singles at the European Figure Skating Championships, the Russian Figure Skating Championships, and the gold medal in the figure skating team event at Beijing 2022 (along with the Russian national team). The suspension will end on December 25, 2025.
