The International Olympic Committee (IOC) asked the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to investigate the entourage of Kamila Valieva as the teenage Russian figure skater awaits her fate in a doping case at the Beijing Olympics on Sunday.
A Court of Arbitration for Sport's hearing is scheduled to take place later on Sunday after the IOC, the International Skating Union and WADA appealed against the lifting of the 15-year-old's provisional suspension by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency .
Valieva tested positive for a banned heart drug at her national championships last December but it took more than six weeks for the result to be made public.Her future at the Beijing Games and a gold for the Russian Olympic Committee in the team event that she dominated on Monday now hangs in the balance amid a global outcry over Moscow's doping history.
"This is a constantly moving target, and we are continuing to work on this. We have an entourage commission...we want WADA to investigate the entourage in this case. A whole range of things have been done," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told a news conference on Sunday.Valieva is one of the youngest athletes ever to have a positive test revealed at the Olympics, in a case that has prompted outrage from fans, athletes and anti-doping advocates around the world.
