Russian skater, 15, says positive doping test may have been caused by drinking from same glass as grandad

Russian skater Kamila Valieva's lawyers have said her failed doping test may have been caused by her grandfather's medication contaminating a glass she drank from.

Sports lawyer Denis Oswald said part of the 15-year-old athlete's defence is "contamination which happened with a product her grandfather was taking".

This argument was presented at a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing on Sunday night.
