An IOC executive board member responded to criticism after the Court of Arbitration for Sport cleared Russian skater, Kamila Valieva, to compete in the women’s singles event on Tuesday night, despite failing a test for banned substances in December.
"The decision made by this court is compulsory for every signatory including the IOC and therefore we have to respect the decision. We have not received the recent decision so we don't know exactly all the arguments that have been considered by the court," said IOC executive board member Denis Oswald who later on reportedly confirmed to reporters that a contamination had "happened with a product her grandfather was taking."
Fifteen-year-old Valieva, who on Monday became the first ice skater to successfully complete a quadruple jump at the Olympic Games, is now facing doping allegations.
The medal ceremony, which was scheduled for Tuesday evening, was subsequently postponed.
