Athletes under 16 like Valieva have more rights under anti-doping rules and typically aren’t held responsible for taking banned substances. The focus of any future investigation will home in on her personal team - coaches, doctors, nutritionists, etc. The World Anti-Doping Agency will have the right to appeal any ruling by RUSADA, and also said it wants to independently investigate Valieva's entourage.

Kamila Valieva will not receive medal at Winter Olympics despite reinstatementThe IOC has scrapped the medal ceremony for the women's individual figure skating final after Russia's Kamila Valieva was cleared to compete. Here I thought my freshman years were awkward, can't say they hold a candle to being someone that may cancel an award ceremony by possibly winning. So rather than have a backbone about doping they instead punish the other medal winners. iocmedia is a fucking joke So deprive the other clean competitors of their ceremony if she medals? This is not cool. She shouldn't be allowed to compete if she trained dirty.
