The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said the doping case against Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was an isolated case and declined to jump to conclusions about the incident. This was stated by the head of the press service of the IOC Mark Adams, reports RIA Novosti.
He stressed that no one pointed to the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) as the culprit of the situation, no one spoke about the systemic nature of such situations.

“We will consider it, no need to run ahead of the train. We consider a single case. It would not be very wise to draw conclusions from this single case,” Adams said.
Earlier it became known that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearings on the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva ended in Beijing. The meeting lasted 6 hours and 50 minutes.
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.
