Teenage Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been cleared to compete in the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled Monday.
The IOC, International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) all called on the CAS to reinstate a suspension Valieva was given by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), over a doping violation she received concerning a test sample taken in December.
The decision clears the 15-year old to compete in the short program of the women's singles competition on Tuesday. She is the favorite for the gold for women's singles.
