"The International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will hold a hearing tonight (Beijing time) to rule on the drug involvement of figure skaters on behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee, and we will also announce the final judgment tomorrow (14th)." After being questioned by reporters from many countries for many days, Christopher Dolby, director of the Olympic Department of the International Olympic Committee, finally gave the time to solve the "Russian figure skater drug-related incident".
15-year-old talented girl Camilla Vallieva participated in the women's single free skating competition of the Figure Skating Team Competition of the Winter Olympics on February 7, and she led the second place Hanaori Sakamoto by 30 points with a super high score of 178.92, but then the International Inspection Agency (ITA) - the Beijing Winter Olympics doping testing agency commissioned by the International Olympic Committee - The russian anti-doping agency (RUSADA) first announced a temporary ban on Vallieva (on the grounds that the Stockholm laboratory confirmed that Vallieva's sample on December 25, 2021 was positive on February 8, 2021, and the contraband was trimetazide), but on the same day, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency announced that the temporary ban was lifted. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency's approach has angered the International Skating Federation (ISU), which appealed to CAS, insisting on Valieva's ban.
Valieva belongs to the "protected group under 16 years of age" in the WDA, so the IOC spokesperson always responded to reporters' inquiries with "this is a legal issue".
According to the reporter's understanding, since the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, CAS has set up ad hoc arbitral tribunals during the Olympic Games to quickly resolve relevant legal issues during the Olympic Games, and the industry is not optimistic that Vallieva can get rid of the ban - after all, the positive sample is an indisputable fact.
At present, Camilla Vallieva's name remains in the List of Women's Singles Short Skaters on February 15 (26th appearance), and a total of 30 contestants rank in the top 24 to qualify for free skating.
A reporter said that she saw Vallieva participate in daily training this morning, but she "left the scene quickly" without any response from many reporters.
