CAS took the side of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), dismissing the appeals of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Skating Union (ISU).

“Based on the very limited facts in this case, the court has decided that an athlete’s provisional suspension cannot be imposed,” the court said in a statement.

The decision notes:

Valieva is a “protected person” (under 16) under the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC);

The RUSADA and WADA Anti-Doping Rules are silent on provisional suspensions for "protected persons" while the rules contain specific provisions for different standards of evidence and lower sanctions for "protected persons";

The CAS considered the fundamental principles of fairness, proportionality, irreparable harm and the relative balance of interest between applicants and an athlete who tested negative for doping at the Olympics. The Commission considered that preventing Valieva from participating in the Games would cause her irreparable harm in these circumstances;

There were serious problems with the late notification of the results of Valieva's December 2021 test. This violated the athlete's right to legal support, although such late notification was not her fault;

The CAS ruled that permission to lift the temporary suspension was appropriate.
