February 12, Beijing time, the eighth competition day of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Russia's women's figure skater Vallieva tested positive for urine at a competition late last year and was temporarily banned by RUSADA (Russian Anti-Doping Agency). However, the day before yesterday, Vallieva questioned the temporary ban and held a hearing on the same day. RUSADA's decision to lift her temporary ban to allow her to continue to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics has provoked protests from WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency), which, according to a statement issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), has received an application from WADA to restore Vallieva's ban.
At present, Valieva is still in a state where she can play, her next match will be played on February 15, Beijing time, WADA does have time to enforce the punishment, but It is a fact that Valieva has congenital heart disease, and there are exemption rules for taking drugs containing prohibited ingredients in the anti-doping rule, but the final ruling still has to wait, as a spectator, or hope that Valieva can play smoothly and make the game more exciting.
In yesterday's final of the men's U-shaped snowboarding track, American snowboarding legend Sean White played poorly and finally ranked fourth with 85.00 points, and today he released a video announcing his retirement, in which he said: "I am Sean White, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, and now I am a retired American snowboarder!"
