Executive Board Member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Denis Oswald called for an investigation into the entourage of Russian athlete Kamila Valieva during a presser in Beijing on Tuesday.

"Of course, you can imagine, a girl of 15 would not do something wrong alone so, yes, the entourage will be investigated," Oswald said, confirming the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) would examine ‘all aspects of this case.’

The 15-year-old figure skater tested positive last week to a banned doping substance but was allowed to continue competing in the Olympic Games, sparking backlash and criticism of IOC's handling of the case.
