Attorneys for Kamila Valieva argued that trimetazidine entered her system through a medication that her grandfather takes, an IOC official said.
."For example, grandfather drank something from a glass, saliva got in this glass was somehow later used by the athlete."did not immediately reply to an email from USA TODAY Sports seeking comment. RUSADA also did not reply to a request for comment.
RUSADA provisionally suspended Valieva on Feb. 8 upon learning of her positive test, as required by the World Anti-Doping Agency's code. But the skater appealed that decision the next day to a RUSADA disciplinary panel, which agreed to lift her suspension after the aforementioned hearing. That decision led the IOC, WADA and the International Skating Union to take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, whichin the individual event Tuesday.
The Dossier Center also published the text of WADA's application to CAS, in which it briefly detailed the arguments that Valieva made to the RUSADA disciplinary committee. "The Athlete's explanation ... was that her grandfather was a regular user of trimetazidine medication and she must have somehow been inadvertently exposed to that medication before the Doping Control," WADA wrote. CAS had yet to release the full text of its decision not to suspend Valieva as of Tuesday afternoon.
