ITA first emphasized that according to the World Anti-Doping Regulations, athletes under the age of 16 are minors and belong to the "protected population", so their information cannot be made public.
"I saw that some media did not protect her name (according to the World Anti-Doping Regulations), and after the award ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics team event was postponed, it was widely reported based on unofficial information. ITA believes that it is necessary to make official disclosure in the case of general public concern. " ITA said in a statement.
The first gold medal in the figure skating competition of Beijing Winter Olympics was decided on the 7th. The Russian Olympic Committee won the team championship, while the United States and Japan won the silver medal and bronze medal respectively. However, the award ceremony that should have been held in the Beijing Division Award Plaza on the evening of the 8th was postponed for some reason.
Later, it was rumored by the media that the award ceremony was postponed because of the doping problem of Russia 15-year-old talented girl Valieva. On the 9th and 10, the IOC didn't comment more on this rumor, only stressed that it was a "legal issue" and was still studying it.

1 1, ITA's statement introduced the ins and outs of the incident in detail. ITA said that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) collected the test samples of Valieva at the Russian Figure Skating Championships held in St Petersburg, Russia on February 25th last year, and sent them to the Swedish laboratory certified by WADA for testing.
However, after a lapse of one and a half months, on February 8 this year, the day after the team competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the laboratory in Stockholm, Sweden reported that the Vallier Eva test sample collected by Rusada on February 25 last year was positive, and the banned substance detected was trimetazidine. The athlete was immediately suspended by Rusada. According to the International Olympic Committee's anti-doping rules for the Beijing Winter Olympics, this means that Valiere Wa will not be able to continue to participate in any events including the Beijing Winter Olympics.
ITA said that since the doping test samples were collected by Rusada before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the case was not under the jurisdiction of the IOC and was not directly managed by ITA. According to the relevant rules, ITA immediately informed Vallier that Rusada's temporary suspension meant that she could not continue to participate in the competition, training or any other related activities of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

In the figure skating team competition of Beijing Winter Olympics on the 7th, Valerie successfully completed the inner loop jump, which also means that she became the first women's singles player to complete the loop jump of the Winter Olympics.
ITA said that in order to protect underage athletes and provide them with necessary physical and mental health care, ITA did not publicly disclose the case after notifying Vallier Wa. But at the same time, all legal procedures have been initiated.
Ita said that Eva Vallier appealed to the Rusada Disciplinary Committee on the 9th. At the hearing held that day, the Disciplinary Committee of Rusada decided to cancel the temporary suspension of Eva Vallier and allow her to continue to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
According to ITA, Rusada said that she would announce the reasons for lifting Vallier's temporary suspension later. However, according to the World Anti-Doping Regulations, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Skating Federation and the International Olympic Committee all have the right to appeal to the sports arbitration court against Rusada's decision.
"The IOC will exercise this right without waiting for Rusada's reason to cancel the ban, because when the athlete is about to participate in the next competition (February 15), a decision must be made."

As an organization authorized by the IOC to conduct doping control for the Olympic Games, ITA will appeal to CAS on behalf of the IOC. Valerieva has the right to ask for analysis of her B sample.
Ita said that regarding the performance of the FISA Olympic Committee team in the team events of the Winter Olympics, Russia can only make a decision after the case is finalized. At present, the relevant procedures are still being processed.
According to reports from Russia today, the Russian Olympic Committee said that around February 25, 65438 last year, including during the Beijing Winter Olympics, Valiere Wa was negative for doping tests many times, and they would take all possible measures to keep the gold medal in the flower skating team event.
The International Skating Federation called for the suspension of Russian figure skaters. According to a report in Russia 1 1 today, the International Skating Federation (ISU) appealed the same day, asking the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) to resume the temporary suspension of Russian figure skater Camilla Vallier (known as KBao by fans).
The International Inspection Agency (ITA) announced on 6th +0 1 that following the temporary suspension of Zivalj's drug-related activities, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) decided on the evening of 9th to lift the temporary ban on Vallier and allow her to continue to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
According to the announcement of the international inspection agency, on February 25th, 200211February, Walieva provided a test sample to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency during the 2022 All-Russian Figure Skating Championship, and the test report returned on February 8th showed that the sample result was positive, involving the illegal drug trimetazidine, which is a cardiovascular drug against angina pectoris. Subsequently, Walieva was temporarily suspended by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency. On the 9th, Walieva questioned the ban. After the hearing held that day, the Russian anti-doping agency decided to lift the temporary ban and allow her to continue to participate in the Winter Olympics.
According to the World Anti-Doping Regulations, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the International Skating Federation, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have the right to appeal against the decision to lift the temporary suspension. As the women's single skating in figure skating will start on 15, the IOC will appeal. As for the gold medal of the Russian Olympic Committee team in the figure skating team competition on the 7th, a decision can only be made after the final result is determined.
The International Olympic Committee confirmed on the 9th that the awarding ceremony of the figure skating team event of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which should have been held on the evening of the 8th, was postponed due to "legal problems", but did not disclose the specific reasons. InsideGames, a British sports portal, speculated on the 9th that it was suspected that Vallier had tested positive for doping. The report was quoted and reprinted by many media. According to the World Anti-Doping Regulations, underage players under the age of 16 should be protected. It is not necessary to disclose their names and possible events, and the information disclosed must be consistent with the facts. Due to many unofficial media reports, the international inspection agency 1 1 released official information.
Walieva is only 15 years old. This is her first time to participate in the Winter Olympics. She is known as the "Hexagon Warrior" because of her exquisite and comprehensive skills and performance. In the figure skating team competition on the 7th, Varille Wa, a women's singles player, was regarded as a new star of women's figure skating, with a score of 178.92, more than 30 points ahead of the second-ranked Japanese player. In the end, the Russian Olympic Committee won the first place in the figure skating team competition, and the United States and Japan ranked second and third respectively.
On the morning of March 1 1, Vallier Eva, a female single skater from the Russian Olympic Committee delegation, left the training ground in a hurry after the training. Walking into the mixed mining area, K Bao lifted his hat, wrapped himself up and left the mixed mining area. These days, it's really a bit heavy for this little girl who is only 16 years old. In today's training, she didn't even add music, just did some jumping movements.
These days, the negative news around Varilleva has been constant. The cause of the incident originated from the results of a doping test. Kbao participated in the Russian Figure Skating Championships in June and February last year, 5438. Russian doping agency (RUSADA) conducted anti-doping test for this competition as usual. As a result, in the test results released on February 8, the inspectors found a small amount of illegal drugs from the samples they collected. The fact that illegal drugs were found was also confirmed by the International Skating Federation in today's relevant statement.
On the evening of the 8th, Rusada decided to suspend Valieva temporarily, which also meant that she would not be able to participate in the women's single skating competition in the next Beijing Winter Olympics.
A day later, Walieva appealed to Rusada and held a hearing on the same day. That night, Rusada decided to lift the temporary ban on Valieva and allow her to continue to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Why did Rusada lift the ban? In this regard, Anna Ante Linovich, a former director-general of Rusada and a sports lawyer, revealed that the main reason was that the players' lawyers could prove that the positive test results were probably caused by contaminated samples.
At the same time, the Russian Olympic Committee said that apart from the Russian champion, there was no problem in testing Valieva from the beginning of the European Championship to the Winter Olympics. Subsequently, the Russian Figure Skating Association also issued a statement saying that it would not doubt the honesty and cleanliness of its players and would make every effort to clarify what had happened.
But in any case, it is a fact that illegal drugs were found in the test. Based on this premise, the International Olympic Committee also issued a statement this afternoon, saying that it will appeal Rusada's decision and the case will be tried by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
It is reported that CAS will hold an emergency hearing on February 15 to decide whether Walieva can participate in the women's flower skating single event in this Winter Olympics.
However, under the current circumstances, KBao can still train and participate in competitions without restrictions.
