On February 14, Beijing time, CAS official news allowed Russian and Austrian figure skater Vallieva to continue to participate in the competition. That is to say, Vallieva will appear on the women's singles field. Of course, the controversy will continue, and the biggest problem first is that the medals of the team and women's singles may not be awarded in the first place.
Vallieva will appear in the women's singles, and for Vallieva, it is the first hurdle, however, this is not the end.
Why?
According to current news, IOC spokesman Adams made it clear that the team gold medal for figure skating at the Winter Olympics could not be awarded because Vallieva was indeed suspected positive and she did test positive for trimetazil on December 25, 2021. Whether to sit idly by and watch the drug, you also need to wait for the test of the B-bottle urine sample.
Now, CAS has approved the Russian-Austrian figure skater Vallieva to continue to compete, and once Vallieva wins the medal (in fact, Vallieva has the highest probability of winning the gold medal), then the project still cannot be awarded for the same reason as the team competition. Because, wait for the final result of Valieva.
In other words, Valieva is expected to win 2 titles at the Winter Olympics, and because of this, these 2 events will not be able to award medals. This is really headache news for the Olympic Committee, and it is also a very rare scene.
You know, even if the results are released, the subsequent controversy will continue, and it is estimated that it will continue to be discussed for 1-2 years, and it will last several different court battles before it will be finally resolved. That is to say, for a long time, some of the famous figure skaters of the Winter Olympics will suffer because of this incident.
