Russian athlete will take part in the competition even if caught in doping
Russia's Kamila Valieva has been approved to compete in the
women's figure skating event, although she failed a pre-game drug test. Kamila
Valieva is considered to be a strong contender for the gold medal in this
match. Whatever the result of this match of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, but
if Valieva is in the first three places, then there will be no medal ceremony
immediately after the match. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) allowed
Valieva to enter the contest in less than 12 hours after a hurried hearing on
Monday morning. The panel of judges said that 15-year-old Valieva could play
her favorite match and there was no need to suspend her before the results of
the full investigation. The court has taken this compassionate decision in view
of his age. Since he is not an adult, he is a "protected person" in
Olympic parlance; if Valieva was an adult, he would have the same rules as for
other players. CAS Director-General Mathieu Reeb said, "The Panel
considers that the deterrence of an athlete from competing in this circumstance
would amount to an irreparable loss" Read more: The Horrific Experience of
an Athlete Not Being a Major Athletes under the age of 16, such as Kay Valyeva,
have more rights under doping rules and are not held responsible for taking
banned drugs. In the investigation in this matter, attention will be given to
his coach, doctor and nutritionist. The verdict only allowed that she could
continue skating until the matter was resolved.
What will happen to the gold he has won earlier, it is yet
to be decided. Such cases will be resolved by the investigation of the Russian
Anti-Doping Agency. The World Anti-Doping Agency will have the right to appeal
against the decision of the Russian agency. The agency also says that it wants
to conduct an independent investigation into Valieva's case. Now Valieva and
her fellow Russian skaters can look to the goal of Russia's historic victory at
the Olympics in women's figure skating. The match will start with a short
program on Tuesday and end with a free skate on Thursday. The International
Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Monday that there would be no medal ceremony
during the Games if Valieva finished in the top three. There will also be no
medal ceremony for the team events in which Valieva and the Russian team have
won. "It would not be appropriate to hold a medal ceremony," says the
IOC. Valieva performed the first quadruple jump for a woman at the Olympics,
and the Russian team won the gold medal with a strong performance. The decision
not to award the medal will also affect the second-placed American team,
including Nathan Chen.
These people will leave Beijing without knowing whether they
won gold or silver. If Valieva and Russia are disqualified, Japan will rise to
the top and Canada will claim bronze. The US Olympic and Olympic Committee
expressed its dismay at the current situation, but said "we respect the
intent of the IOC to give the right medals to the right people." Valieva
returned to the rink shortly after the CAS's decision. participated in and
completed his program without falling. The Russian media present there
applauded for him. There is a worldwide reaction to this young skater. Some are
praising him and some criticizing Russian doping, which has eclipsed a sporting
event. The CAS in its decision has cited the basic principle of fairness along
with his age. The truth is that she passed the doping test in Beijing. Along
with this, questions are also being raised regarding the late disclosure of his
positive test. Valieva tested positive for the heart drug trimetazidine on
December 25.
