American ice dancers Chock and Bates, still without Olympic medal, embark on new season

After finally winning their elusive world championship, nobody would have faulted American ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates from following the rest of the U.S. figure skating team from the Beijing Olympics into retirement. Chock and Bates helped the U.S. win the team silver medal at the Winter Games, but they have yet to receive a medal of any color — or podium recognition — because of a Russian doping investigation that continues to drag on. The team from Russia won gold, but it could be stripped because of a positive test involving Kamila Valieva taken before the Olympics began.
