On the evening of February 15, Beijing time, the much-watched Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating women's short program competition ended, and although The last group of Valieva who appeared in the last group failed to play at the highest level, the opening jump had certain mistakes, but still ranked first with less than 3 points.
If the free skating is still playing normally, then the award ceremony of the women's singles will also be cancelled. Because, the International Olympic Committee issued a statement that if Vallieva finished in the top three, it would cancel the award ceremony for the project.
The IOC's announcement was issued shortly after the International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced the rejection of appeals by the IOC, the International Skating Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
After a seven-hour hearing, the Court of Arbitration for Sport finally endorsed the decision of the Russian anti-doping agency to lift Vallieva's temporary ban.
The entire hearing lasted from 21:00 on February 13 to 3:00 a.m. on February 14, with only a 20-minute break, and Valieva participated in the hearing remotely via video.
The Russian website Dossier Centre, which obtained a recording of the hearing, revealed that Vallieva's defense against a positive doping sample on December 25 last year was that the sample was contaminated. Vallieva said that because she accidentally used her grandfather's cup on Christmas Day, she caused the sample to be positive.
According to Vallieva, her grandfather suffered from a serious heart condition and needed to take trimetazide for many years, and because she drank the same glass of water as her grandfather, trimetazine entered her body.
Vallieva's team of lawyers said the concentration of trimetazin in her body was negligible, as evidenced by that.
In addition, the Dossier Centre also revealed a strong news, that is, Valieva's heart also has a problem, and she is also taking medication for a long time!
The Dossier Centre reports that the drug That Valieva was taking was Hypoxen, which was prescribed by doctors after examining Vallieva, which Sheva has been taking.
Hypoxen is indeed used to treat heart disease, and although the drug is not on the banned list by the World Anti-Doping Agency, an important effect of the drug is to improve physical function in people who reduce oxygen consumption or in the case of severe physical loss.
The IOC also said that the doping storm about Vallieva is not over and the investigation will continue!
