I am baffled by the kind of smoke and mirror arguments used by the ad hoc committee :
not enough time for a defense... really? what about those other cases (and there are many) who got excluded from events a few weeks before they happen... when it takes MONTHS to present a defense... for instance Calalang/Johnson not being able to participate at Worlds.... Even if Kamila had received her results on December 26th, she would not have had time to prepare and present a defense and get a ruling on it.
Then, the argument about "she didn't test positive during the games" oh well...that doesn't exclude the other positive test... It's not a 3 strike and you are out rule with doping.. it's a no tolerance policy.. At least, it is supposed to be.
So actually, the decision leads to what ifs now.... it opens a whole lot of doors as a precedent has been set for exemption of athletes with positives test prior to the games who may not have time for a proper defense or who are minor or who are superstar bringing viewers in a dull Olympics.
I will stop here because I am disgusted with this decision. And just for the records, I was very impressed and amazed at the talent that is Kamila Valieva. It's nothing against the young skater. I am upset at the lack of responsibility and integrity shown by these people who are supposed to promote clean sport and protect athletes from the wrongdoings of greedy coaches and sports federations.
Doping in sport is a much larger issue than any figure skater. This is a massive blow to all advocates for clean sport.

I just CAN NOT believe this!! What the heck are they thinking? The integrity of this sport has been permanently compromised. I hope the other lady skaters (and tv viewers) BOYCOTT...its not like they had anything to lose in the end. Why waste your time participating in a rigged competition? This is a black eye on figure skating, and they have lost a longtime fan.

I think this was the right decision. The Swedish Laboratory with their slowness of producing these results forced this result. If they produced results earlier in mid-Jan, it would have been Alexandra, Anna and Elizaveta at the Olympic Games, as Kamila would have been disqualified. But, the result being posted during Olympics, is the reason why we are where we are.

This is why I’ve grown to hate the Olympics.
A waste of money, infrastructure and constant doping for the sake of…..what exactly?
Nothing good will come from this.
Regardless of what medal she wins, there will always be an asterisk by her name.
And that’s so sad because a child shouldn’t have to go through this.
I can only hope that Eteri & her team will lose all credibility and no longer have students.

Question: is the reason why this verdict happened because they're investigating this as a child endangerment case and not a doping case because Vaileva is a minor?

Thank you for the update. It seems a very complicated legal situation all round.CAS Rules: Kamila Valieva will compete in Beijing

I'm quite annoyed about the decision to let her skate tomorrow but reading the decision this is looking increasingly like a WADA heckup as well - why on earth would they not have a regulation to cover this circumstance in their code?
But it looks as though far too many people around the internet are taking this as "CAS has decided Valieva didn't dope" and are running hysterically with that incorrect interpretation, instead of "CAS has decided Valieva can skate until it is determined if she doped". She could still be banned retroactively. Medals can still be stripped. She hasn't got away with it.

people all over the world will see that a minor was allowed to compete after having a banned substance in her system,
and they will be expected to get on board with it because the lab didn't send the (accurate) results back in time.
not even a word will be mentioned about any of the adults around her, as it wasn't focused on here.
That's gonna be an hard sell I think, let's see if it works. good luck Olympics.
Actually, this is not funny at all. The vultures of social media will be after Kamila from now on.
I think the issue that I and others have is that the positive test alone should have disqualified her. Which was the case with others in the past. If she's too young to face the same consequences that others have faced, then they definitely need to raise the age limit. Separate rules isn't fair.

This leaves a foul aftertaste. They should not be lenient just because she is a minor. And the argument that she wasn't tested positive during the Olympics themselves has what exactly to do with the current case? The only thing that I kind of understand is that the late report of the test result has made this difficult. But in general I don't think that they did the sport a favor with this decision.
I hope they are going to investigate this case properly after the Olympics but I fear they are just going to bury it.
If there is one thing the ISU and IOC should learn from this, it's to raise the age limit to 18 asap.
