According to reports, regarding the drug storm, the International Skating Federation said in a statement: "In response to recent media reports about figure skating team competitions, the International Skating Federation cannot disclose any information about possible violations of drug regulations. This is the requirement of the International Skating Federation's anti-drug regulations and the anti-drug regulations implemented by the International Olympic Committee at the Beijing Winter Olympics. In addition, RFSF spokeswoman Olga El Molina reportedly said that Vallieva was not suspended from participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics.

In addition, regarding the reflection of the International Olympic Committee, spokesman Mark Adams said on the 10th that the current statement that the award ceremony was postponed due to "Russian players involved in banned drugs" is speculation, and refused to comment on the rumored doping problem.

Vallieva participated in the figure skating team competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics as a member of the Russian team and won the gold medal. The awards ceremony was postponed from the original February 7 to February 8, and then became uncertain. The Olympic news website Inside the Games reports that the postponement of the award ceremony is related to the drug test results of Russian athlete Camilla Vallieva. Russia's "Kommerskaya" reported on the 9th that a number of sources revealed that Vallieva's drug test results were positive.

In response to the Valieva drug storm, Russian figure skating coach Ina Goncharenko said in an interview with the Russian Satellite News Agency: "This is not allowed and it is also unethical. I wouldn't be surprised if the news that followed said her drug test results had gone in error unexpectedly. Regarding the relevant reports, she also said: "For the time being, it seems like some kind of provocation. She said, "... Unfortunately, the media quickly seized on this information and rushed to make a sensational report. Valieva is a one-of-a-kind athlete whose performance looks like a masterpiece on ice. That is why officials must find out the situation as soon as possible. ”

In response to a series of storms, the Russian Satellite News Agency commented that for Vallieva, the first Olympic tour did not become a meritorious celebration, but a nightmare full of accusations and media hype.
