Russian figure skating star Kamila Valieva's eligibility hearing after testing positive for a banned substance will be on Sunday with a decision on her status for the women's individual competition expected to come the next day.
Valieva and her teammates had won gold in the team competition competing as the Russian Olympic Committee , but the medal ceremony was delayed.
If the appeal is successful and the ROC's gold medal is stripped, Team USA would likely see its silver medal upgraded to gold and Japan's bronze bumped to silver.Valieva’s coach, Eteri Tutberidze, told Russia’s state-run TV network that "this is a very complicated and controversial situation," the Times reports.“I wanted to say that we are absolutely confident that Kamila is innocent and clean," Tutberidze added.
"The Russian Olympic Committee is taking comprehensive measures to protect the rights and interests of the members of the ROC Team, and to keep the honestly won Olympic gold medal."
