Russian Skater Banned from Competing for Four Years - Is it Enough?

Kamila Valieva - a teenaged figure skating star from Russia, faces a four year ban on competing due to a positive test for performance enhancing drugs (PEDs).  Drug use in Sport for me has always been a big no-no; it ruins the concept of open competition on a fair playing field, destroys the hard work and training by un-enhanced competitors, and abuses the spirit of the Olympic Games.  In addition, I find the practice of doping to be highly divisive.

Kamila Valieva faces a four year ban on competing due to her drug test results - but is it enough?  There have been murmurs of introducing lifetime bans for doping offenses.  What are your thoughts?
