International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams discussed the doping allegations surrounding 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, aying "justice has to be done properly and it takes time," during a press conference in Beijing on Saturday.
Despite saying it would take time, he added, "it will go as speedily as it possibly can do" before remarking, "we want to see it sorted out as quickly as possible."
Adams spoke as the case against Valieva was undergoing an appeal which was being examined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Valieva failed a drug test for banned heart medication trimetazidine before going on to win a team event on Monday, the results of the test only made public six weeks later. She is one of the youngest athletes to have tested positive for doping at the Olympic Games.
Russia's anti-doping agency, RUSADA, provisionally suspended the 15-year-old figure skater from competing in her next event, the women's single, before lifting the ban on Wednesday. Both the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have appealed to CAS against lifting the suspension before the next event due to start on Tuesday.
