Kamila Valieva was not at fault for the positive drug test which emerged at the 2022 Winter Olympics, according to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada).
The 15-year-old figure skater emerged as one of the stars of the Beijing Games last year, as a result of her remarkable performances in the team event. The highlight was when she made history by becoming the first woman to land a quadruple jump at the Olympics – doing it twice in the same event.
However, just a few days later, it emerged that Valieva had failed a drug test performed on Christmas Day the year before. Amid the furore, she continued to compete in the women's singles but made several costly mistakes which ended her chances of securing a medal.
