"The IOC welcomes WADA's announcement to conduct a full review of RUSADA's decision in order to consider further action and the possibility of reviewing the case as soon as possible without further undue delay," the IOC TASS press service quoted the statement as saying.
On January 13, the RUSADA Disciplinary Committee decided to acquit Valieva, who is suspected of using illegal drugs.
The figure skater escaped sanctions, except for the annulment of her results at the time of sampling.
Thus, Valieva will lose the gold of the ChR-2021.
The medal will go to runner-up Alexandra Trusova.
After the victory of the Russian team in the team tournament of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, it became known that a doping test of a 16-year-old Russian woman dated December 25, 2021 tested positive for trimetazidine.
Earlier it was reported that WADA may apply to CAS upon the decision of the RUSADA disciplinary committee to acquit Valieva in the doping case.
