On February 14, Beijing time, the high-profile Vallieva stimulant test positive incident finally had the final result.
The International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that it had dismissed the appeals of the International Olympic Committee, the International Skating Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency, and that Vallieva, 15, would continue to compete in the games to come.
A brief review of Vallieva's doping incident, in the figure skating team final of the Beijing Winter Olympics that ended on February 7, the Russian Olympic team won the championship, and Vallieva scored a full score of 10 points in the women's singles, making a great achievement.
On February 8, the events took their first turn, with the International Olympic Committee announcing that it would postpone the award ceremony for the project. The reason is that Vallieva tested positive for a sample at the Russian National Championship on December 25 last year, and her sample found a banned drug!
The complication of the incident is that The results of Vallieva's sample test were released on February 8, just after Russia won the championship. Russia's anti-doping agency announced a temporary ban for Valieva.
Just 24 hours later, the incident reversed for the second time, and the Russian anti-doping agency announced that K Bao's ban was lifted, and K Bao could continue to participate in the women's singles competition in the future.
In this case, only the Russian anti-doping agency had the right to punish Vallieva, and no other international agency had the right to intervene. Originally thought that there was no suspense in K Bao's participation, the incident had a third reversal, the International Olympic Committee, the International Skating Federation, the World Anti-Doping Agency all appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, demanding that the ban on Valieva be reinstated.
And on February 14, the Valieva doping incident took its fourth turn, with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejecting the appeals of the three major organizations!
After learning of the final verdict of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, the U.S. Olympic Committee issued a statement at the first time, expressing strong dissatisfaction with CAS's handling decision.
U.S. Olympic Committee President Sarah said: "I am extremely disappointed that CAS has allowed Vallieva to continue to compete!
Sarah said athletes have a right to know that they are playing on a level playing field. Unfortunately, CAS deprives athletes of this right. Ensuring that athletes, coaches are of a high standard and protecting the integrity of sport is the collective responsibility of the Olympic Movement, and we are very disappointed by the message conveyed by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
On the evening of February 14, Beijing time, the International Olympic Committee also issued a statement in succession, and the International Olympic Committee said that before the closing of the Beijing Winter Olympics, there will be no award ceremony for figure skating team competitions (the Russian Olympic team won the championship). Not only that, if Vallieva finishes in the top three in the women's singles competition, the award ceremony for the women's single skating will also be cancelled.
South Korea's Kim Yeon-na, the gold medalist in women's singles at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, also made her attitude clear on social media, saying: "Players who violate doping should not be allowed to participate in the Olympic Games!" This principle is something that all athletes are required to observe, without any exceptions. Because the efforts and dreams of all the players are equally precious! ”
