- Trimetazidine found in teenager’s sample from Christmas Day
- Figure skating team medal ceremony was delayed on Tuesday
The future of the 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at these Winter Olympics remains in limbo despite the Independent Testing Agency (ITA) confirming that she tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine on Christmas Day.
Valieva, who captured the hearts of the world when she became the first female skater to perform a quad at the Games as the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) won a brilliant team gold at the start of this week, has appealed her provisional suspension and hopes to compete again in the individual competition next Tuesday.
