Russia (bbabo.net), - President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation Alexander Gorshkov called the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to allow Kamila Valieva to compete in women's singles at the Beijing Olympics a triumph of common sense.

On Monday, the CAS rejected the appeals of the IOC, WADA and ISU to lift the provisional suspension of the Russian athlete.

“The only thing that can be said here is that common sense and justice have triumphed. How long will the whole process take? This is a legal issue, we still don’t know.

15-year-old Valieva is the world record holder in short and free programs, as well as in the sum of two performances.

On Friday, the International Doping Testing Agency reported that the doping test of the Russian woman, taken on December 25 at the Russian Championship, gave a positive result. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency temporarily suspended the athlete on February 8, but after an appeal on February 9, the ban was lifted.
