The doping allegations of Russian figure skater Baliyeva, who performed overwhelmingly at the Beijing Olympics, were eventually revealed.
Whether Baliyeva can compete in her remaining individual matches will be decided at an emergency hearing by the International Court of Arbitration for Sports.

The International Inspection Agency (ITA), which oversees the Olympic doping testing on behalf of the IOC, issued a statement and officially confirmed the doping discovery in Balieva.
It is said that the banned substance trimetazidine was detected in a sample from Balieva submitted on Christmas last year.
The results of this test were delivered to RUSADA, the Russian anti-doping agency, on the 8th, the day after Russia's team event victory. It turned out to be withdrawn.
The IOC and the International Ice Federation have appealed to the Sports Arbitration Court against Russia's withdrawal of the disciplinary action, and an emergency hearing is currently underway.
Whether or not Balieva will participate in the individual exhibition to be held on the 15th will be decided at this emergency hearing.

All doping will be frowned upon.]
The Russian Ice Federation has made it clear in her statement that Baliyeva is innocent and will force her to compete in individual events.
Balieva digested her practice normally, and she did not answer the questions that came pouring in.
Russia, which cannot even use its country name in the Olympics due to numerous doping scandals, is sending a shock to the sports world as it continues to send athletes exposed to doping to participate in the Olympics.
