On February 9, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spoke about the awarding of medals in the figure skating team tournament at the 2022 Games. According to representatives of the IOC, only the completion of the investigation into Valieva’s case will make it possible to announce the final results and make a decision on the distribution of medals.
At the 2022 Olympics, the Russian team won the team competition, but the awards ceremony was not held. Valieva’s sample dated December 2021 contained traces of the banned drug trimetazidine.
