Valieva, 15, whose female figure skating team initially appeared to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, tested positive for using trimetazidine, which is often used for chest pain, Russian media company RBK reported."The situation arose today on short notice that requires legal consultation with the [International Skating Union].
Trimetazidine was banned from competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency because it can improve one's performance in endurance sports, according to NBC. The drug limits major shifts in blood pressure while increasing blood flow to the heart. The drug was the center of a previous doping scandal among Russian bobsledders in 2018, which resulted in a Russian athlete being disqualified from the Winter Olympics that year and receiving an eight-month ban from competition.A 2014 documentary by German broadcaster ARD accused Russia of running a state-sponsored performance-enhancing drug operation for its athletes. The documentary sparked international backlash against Russia.
