Sputnik is live from Beijing where the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is expected to announce its verdict on the case of Russian ice skater Kamila Valieva. The court will decide if the 15-year-old gold medal winner will continue competing at the Beijing Olympics.
This comes after the International Testing Committee (ITC) released a statement confirming Valieva had provided a sample containing the banned substance trimetazidine during the Russian Figure Skating Championships in Saint Petersburg on 25 December.
However, the results of that test only came back on 7 February, when Valieva triumphantly performed at the Olympics, earning the gold medal for the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team. Despite all of Valieva's doping tests taken immediately before the Olympics and after the Games had started having been clean, the award ceremony was postponed indefinitely.
