The IOC decided the fate of Russia's gold because of the doping scandal at the 2022 Olympics
Recall, on February 11, the International Doping Testing Agency (ITA) reported that Valieva’s doping test dated December 25, 2021 tested positive for trimetazidine. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), despite the appeals of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), allowed the Russian woman to the personal tournament of the Games in Beijing.
IOC communications director Mark Adams said earlier that Valieva's results at the Olympics would be considered preliminary.
The Russian team won 26 medals at the 2022 Games: five gold, nine silver and 12 bronze medals.
