15-year-old Russian skating superstar Kamila Valieva, who was accused of being a dope, has been acquitted and will compete in the Winter Olympics
Valieva had tested positive for a banned substance, raising questions about whether she would be allowed to compete on Tuesday.
A sample of the 15-year-old was taken on Christmas Day – and on February 8, she returned positive for trimetazidine, a heart medication.
The CAS (International Sports Court) invoked “exceptional circumstances” for his decision, including Valieva’s status as a “protected person” under the World Anti-Doping Code, “serious issues” in the irreparable damage “. The court upheld the decision of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency.
Because Valieva is not yet 16 years old, she is considered a “protected person” under the WADA Anti-Doping Code, which means she will be subject to lighter penalties and may be exempt from public disclosure regulations.
It is recalled that the young champion impressed judges and spectators with the quadruple axle, which was made for the first time in history.
