On February 14, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed the appeals of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the IOC due to Valieva’s positive doping test. As a result, she was allowed to participate in the individual tournament of the 2022 Olympics.
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 CAS against the decision to cancel the temporary suspension of the figure skater from the 2022 Olympic Games.
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.
