- Cas clears 15-year-old to compete in individual event
- Russian had tested positive for a banned angina drug
Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old Russian skater who charmed these Winter Olympics before her positive drugs test sent shockwaves across the world, has sensationally been cleared to compete in the individual event due to the “exceptional circumstances” of her case.
The court of arbitration for sport, which delivered its verdict shortly before 2pm Beijing time, said that ban Valieva while her doping case was ongoing “would cause her irreparable harm”.
