That makes it ironic to a lot of people. their basis is she's been passing doping tests before and after last christmas. they insist that that test should not apply for the games period because she's been testing negative since she arrived here in beijing. obviously, as you mentioned, the ioc disagrees. that's why the ioc who's in charge during the olympics is leading an appeal for sport in switzerland. in its own statement they say it hopes to see a quick decision made by the court before next tuesday. that's when valiyeva is selected to compete. if no decision is reached we can see her conti...

Really drawing any conclusion on whether or not she has committed a doping offense. and also as you have heard, also not ruling out what will happen to the russian gold medal from the team event last monday. one day before her positive test result returned. it seems to me that the panel has been really siding with the russian authorities. a lot of the arguments including for example valiyeva has been passing her doping tests after the december 25 date. that was when the positive sample was collected. and she has been testing negative since she arrived here in beijing. for the winter games. and...

Performance, the one she has already done, she's got some keen ones coming up. and this is important also, russia knew she failed this test. we're talking about russia's superstar figure skater, 15-year-old kamila valiyeva, she was allowed to compete by russia in the games, even though she had failed a drug test that they say was taken in december. valiyeva led russia's figure skating team to a gold medal in the team event. that ceremony is on hold. >> the russian olympic committee is fighting for valiyeva to remain in the competition, and keep what it calls her honestly won gold medal, insist...
