The legal process is unusually complex because of Valieva’s status as a minor, which gives her protections in the anti-doping rule book.
Valieva tested positive in a sample given on Dec. 25, when she won the Russian national championships. On Monday—hours after Valieva’s skating helped the Russians win the Olympic team event—the Stockholm lab notified RUSADA the test was positive. The American judge, Jeffrey Benz, is a former national-level figure skater and one of the most in-demand arbitrators for CAS cases. Vesna Bergant Rakočeviċ is a high court judge in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana.
IMHO, Russia should be banned, in all forms (ROC or whatever) from competing in The Olympics for a period of time. I doubt taking a banned substance was this CHILD'S decision. Sorry for the talented athletes, but it just might wake the People up to bravely dissent.
Strip those gold medals too. Kinda sad the Russia is banned for doping. Roc 15yo athlete gets caught doping. I wonder why they are even allowed to compete.
If found guilty, Russia immediately attacks Ukraine?
