On February 14, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the appeals of the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because of Valieva’s positive doping test. As a result, she was admitted to further participation in 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.
