First woman to quadruple jump in figure skating tests positive for doping
Participant was suspended after testing positive for Trimetazidine
Mamila Valieva is a young woman who, before turning 16, has managed to perform the quadruple jump in figure skating, thus becoming the first woman to do so. However, at his young age he already has a history of doping.
Valieva won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics, and then tested positive on December 25. For this reason, the organizers of the event did everything possible so that the teenager did not participate in Beijing.
Mamila is from Russia. In addition, he is one of the youngest people to test positive for doping.
German television, after uncovering the institutional collusion in a documentary, decided to condemn the country for doping.
Following this, Russia was suspended from all international competition events over the course of two years. Its athletes are obliged to participate under a neutral flag, and if they win a medal, they do not have the right to the anthem on the podium.
The young woman was the gold winner for her participation in the contest. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was in charge of raising the hare to inform that the awarding of medals would be canceled for legal reasons.
One day after her participation, the approved laboratory in Stockholm informed the IOC that the skater tested positive in her control tests.
positive for doping
Valieva tested positive for Trimetazidine. This is a chemical product belonging to the family of metabolism modulators that is responsible for improving the effective circulation of the heart.
The drug dilates the arteries which allows a series of benefits in its performance.
This substance is indicated for people with angina pectoris. According to José Luis Terreros, director of the ABC agency, this product is dangerous and is only used as a second option in angina pectoris. In addition, it is contraindicated for minors.
This medicine is called a small pump by specialists, but it is not related to the endurance stimulant in sports, to increase the number of red blood cells, nor to the steroid cocktail used by the Russians at the Sochi Winter Games in the year 2014.
In controls, it is very rare when trimetidizine is detected.
Participant Suspension
The skater was temporarily suspended by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada). However, he made his presentation at the Winter Games.
Despite what happened, the young woman's suspension was lifted, the reason is still a mystery.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will meet in Oekin and decide whether the participant will be expelled from the Games before Tuesday, the day of her next appointment in the individual competition.
