Russian figure-skating prodigy Kamila Valieva was spotted in training as usual at the Beijing Winter Olympics, despite reports she had allegedly failed a drug test.
Teenage Russian star Kamila Valieva trained in Beijing on Thursday, but former athlete and Eurosport expert Valentina Marchei feels there is a “cloud” above Olympic figure skating while allegations surrounding the 15-year-old continue. Associated Press and Reuters are among the outlets citing claims by Russian newspapers RBC and Kommersant that Valieva has tested positive for a banned drug — reported to be Trimetazidine — which is normally used to treat chest pain.

Kamila Valieva y los patinadores tenían este miércoles en su agenda dos citas. La entrega de medallas de la competición por equipos cerrada el lunes con la victoria del ROC (Comité Olímpico Ruso) por delante de Estados Unidos y Japón, y una sesión de prácticas. La primera no se llevó a cabo. En el entrenamiento se vio a Yuzuru Hanyu, que se prepara para la final masculina, ensayar cuádruples axel; a Nathan Chen, el favorito, mostrar su seguridad, a muchos más, pero ni rastro de Valieva, de 15 años, la líder de su equipo, la primera patinadora que en la historia de los Juegos Olímpicos, ni de otros compañeros del equipo campeón. Finalmente, este jueves ha aparecido en los entrenamientos, pero sin fecha la entrega de los metales.

BEIJING : Russian figure skating fans reacted with dismay at reports women's gold medal favourite Kamila Valieva failed a doping test, putting the Russian Olympic Committee's (ROC) title in the team event under a cloud.
BEIJING : Kamila Valieva is accustomed to the attention that comes with being an Olympic gold medal favourite, but she never faced quite as much scrutiny as she did on Thursday morning at a practice rink adjacent to Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium.
The IOC said on Thursday it would not comment on the ongoing “legal issue” surrounding the continued delay of the medal ceremony for the team figure skating in Beijing. AP, Reuters and others named 15-year-old Russian superstar Kamila Valieva as central to the delay.
