The results of the singles figure skaters competition at the Olympics will be considered preliminary if the Russian athlete Kamila Valieva enters the top three. This was stated by the official representative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Mark Adams, reports TASS.
“The result of Valieva will be considered preliminary and will be accepted under an asterisk,” he stressed.
According to Adams, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has not yet held a full trial on the dopig test of the Russian woman.
“This case has not been fully resolved. CAS made this very clear. The procedure is not even open. Therefore, all conclusions at this stage are irrelevant,” Adams said.
Valieva became the leader in the short program on February 15. For the rental, the 15-year-old athlete received 82.16 points. In second place is another Russian Anna Shcherbakova with 80.20 points. Third place went to Japanese Kaori Sakamoto with 79.84 points.
Earlier on February 15, IOC officer Oswald said that trimetazidine could have entered the body of 15-year-old Valieva through a product that her grandfather used. As he noted, this argument played in favor of the figure skater at a hearing in her doping case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
