It is also reported that the reason for the delay in checking Valieva's doping test and reporting was cases of coronavirus infection among staff in the laboratory in Stockholm.
The International Doping Testing Agency (ITA) reported that Valieva's doping test dated December 25, 2021 tested positive for trimetazidine. The test result was handed over by the anti-doping laboratory in Stockholm on February 8. RUSADA imposed a temporary suspension on Valiyeva, after the athlete's appeal on February 9, it was lifted. For now, she is allowed to continue competing in the Beijing Olympics.
