Travis Tygart: US anti-doping chief says Russia has 'hijacked the competition' after Kamila Valieva ruling at Beijing 2022
CNN
The head of the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) Travis Tygart says Russia has "hijacked the competition" and "stolen the moment from clean athletes" for the "sixth consecutive Olympic Games" after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected appeals to reinstate a provisional ban on teenage figure skater Kamila Valieva.
On Monday, CAS ruled that 15-year-old Russian skater can compete for the remainder of Beijing 2022, despite testing positive for a prohibited substance ahead of the games.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had all called on CAS to reinstate a suspension Valieva was given by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), over a doping violation concerning a test sample taken in December.
