Kamila Valieva Drug Test
On 8 February 2022, a urine sample submitted by Valieva for a drug test on 25 December 2021, at the Russian Championships in Saint Petersburg, tested positive for traces of the banned substance trimetazidine, a drug used to treat angina and increase endurance and blood flow efficiency.
The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) issued her a provisional suspension the same day, one day after skating in the team event, which she successfully appealed. Following the report of Kamila Valieva’s positive drug test on February 12, 2022, the International Olympic Committee stated that it would welcome an anti-doping investigation into her “entourage.”
On 14 February, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued a provisional ruling allowing Valieva to compete in the women’s single event, deciding that not allowing her to compete “would cause her irreparable harm in the circumstances,” though any medal awards for her performances, including in the team event, would still be considered. The court’s favorable provisional ruling was influenced in part by her age, as minor athletes are subject to different rules than adult athletes.
