BEIJING (AP) — The judges who let Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva continue to compete at the Beijing Olympics blamed anti-doping officials in a legal document published Friday for a “failure to function effectively.”
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has launched a scathing attack on the team behind Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old figure skater at the centre of a drugs probe who wilted under the global glare of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on Thursday night.

As the world watched 15-year-old Kamila Valieva fall apart while finishing out of the medals in the Winter Olympics women’s figure skating, another Russian took the spotlight for her off-the-ice behaviour.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said it had been "chilling" to witness Russian teenage skater Kamila Valieva crumble under pressure at the Beijing Olympics in the wake of a doping scandal, hitting out at the 15-year-old's entourage on Friday. Valieva, who had been leading the women's figure skating event after the short programme, cracked in her free skate on Thursday night, and stumbled down to fourth place as her compatriot Anna Shcherbakova skated to gold.
El 'caso Valieva' sigue coleando. y que el presidente del COI, Thomas Bach, ha sido muy explícito en su conferencia de prensa final de los Juegos: «Estoy muy perturbado por lo que vi ayer en la televisión. La presión tan alta que había sobre Valieva va más allá de mi imaginación. En especial porque es una niña de 15 años. Verla luchando en el hielo, ver cómo intentaba recuperar la compostura y terminar su programa. Se podía ver en el lenguaje corporal, estaba sometida a un estrés mental inmenso. Tal vez hubiera preferido dejar el hielo y dejar atrás la historia».
IOC president Thomas Bach says it was «chilling» to see the «tremendous coldness» between Russian skater Kamila Valieva and her entourage after Thursday's free skate at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
