A possible way for doping to enter the body of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been named. The version was put forward by RT journalists with reference to the documents of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
According to the data at the disposal of journalists, traces of trimetazidine can be detected in the body of an athlete if he used the migraine medicine lomerizin. The latter refers to drugs approved for use by athletes. Thus, if an athlete’s doping test is positive for trimetazidine, the testing laboratory should detect traces of lomerizine.

On February 11, the International Testing Agency officially confirmed that Valieva’s December 25 doping test tested positive for the banned trimetazidine. After that, the IOC and WADA filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision to cancel the temporary suspension of the figure skater from the 2022 Olympics.
Valieva’s questionable doping test was reported on 9 February. In this regard, the IOC has postponed the award ceremony following the results of the team tournament of the Olympics. The Russian team, which included Valieva, became the winner in this type of program.
