China News Service, February 11th. A few days ago, the Russian Olympic Committee team won the gold medal in the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating team competition.
But several foreign media later said that before the Winter Olympics, Russian competitor and figure skater Valieva tested positive for a prohibited drug.
The International Inspection Agency (ITA) released a message on February 11 to explain the relevant situation.
Data map: On February 6th, the Winter Olympics figure skating team competition officially kicked off. Valieva, a talented Russian Olympic team player under the age of 16, is like a fairy on ice.
The International Inspection Agency (ITA) said that a sample provided by Russian contestant Valieva on December 25, 2021, tested positive.
The athlete has since been temporarily suspended by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).
ITA also stated that on February 9, 2022, Valieva challenged the temporary suspension and held a hearing on the same day.
RUSADA decided to lift her temporary ban and allow her to continue participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
