The spirit of fair play, the foundation of sports, has been neglected. Relevant organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) need to get to the bottom of this issue as soon as possible and appropriately deal with it.
A doping scandal came to light at the Beijing Winter Olympics. A banned drug has reportedly been detected in a sample that was collected in late December last year from figure skater Kamila Valieva. She has been participating with the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).
Because Valieva is 15 years old, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has decided to allow her to continue to participate in competitions based on a regulation that says an athlete under 16 is a "protected person" and is subject to different rules from an adult athlete, among other reasons.
