IOC: Valieva case will be resolved by Feb 15

IOC spokesperson, Mark Adams, said on Saturday (February 12, 2022) that the IOC would welcome an anti-doping investigation into the Russian doctors, coaches and family members in the entourage of 15-year-old Valieva.

Valieva was suspended by the Russian anti-doping body after a positive test for a banned substance, but the suspension was lifted a day later after she appealed, allowing her to continue to compete.

Her next event, the singles figure skating, is on Tuesday (February 15, 2022).

The International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to reinstate Valieva's suspension.
