Andrey SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsEmail to the authorAt the Winter Olympics in Beijing, February 11 can be marked as Groundhog Day. The men's hockey team of Russia played its next match at the Olympics. Again, almost all the excitement was interrupted by one newsbreak from a completely different sports field. A little over an hour before the start of the meeting between the Russians and the Danish team, it became officially known about the positive doping test of figure skater Kamila Valieva. Earlier, she, along with the rest of the skaters, won gold in the team tournament, but the Russians did not receive a medal due to legal difficulties. Now the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering the possibility of challenging RUSADA's decision on the legitimacy of Valieva's performance at the Olympics. At the end of December last year, traces of trimetazidine were found in the body of a 15-year-old figure skater. This substance is prohibited by the WADA code.
