said in a statementThe skating prodigy took to the Beijing ice half an hour after the CAS ruling, executing a flawless practice run of the short programme she will skate in Tuesday's women's singles.CAS cited the fact that Valieva was a "protected person" under World Anti-Doping Agency rules as one of the "exceptional circumstances" underpinning its decision.
In contrast, Sarah Hirshland, CEO of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, said in a statement after the ruling: "This appears to be another chapter in the systematic and pervasive disregard for clean sport by Russia."DOPING NOT ADDRESSED U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart said: "Only time will tell if she should be competing in these Games and whether or not all of her results will be disqualified".2022 Beijing Olympics - Figure Skating - Training - Training Rink Capital Indoor Stadium, Beijing, China - February 13, 2022.

WADA blamed RUSADA for not asking the laboratory to fast-track Valieva's sample in order for it to be analysed before the Olympics.
id rather have a juiced up Russian competing on my team than a quitter American over emotional issues(if you believe that was really the case) and then celebrated as hero.
I have officially tuned out of the 2022 winter games. Olympics Beijing2022
I guess the cheque cleared over the weekend?
I feel bad for her but Russia should just be banned all together for one or two Olympic cycles.
All the skaters going up against the drugs cheat should walk on the ice to start their routine, music starts and they just stand still for the whole duration of their routine. Each and every one of them would make a MONUMENTAL statement to the world and the CORRUPT Olympics.
Corruption
This is wrong. It's simple the rules were broken and there needs to be consequences
