metadata.value: The story of the possible temporary suspension of Russian figure skating star Kamila Valieva
  during the 2022 Olympic Games was discussed as actively as the results of the competitions.
  The figure skater passed a positive doping test during the competition in December 2021 but
  only found out about it on February 8. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) applied
  a mandatory provisional suspension to the athlete. However, on February 9, the RUSADA
  Disciplinary Anti-Doping Committee, at the appeal of the skater, lifted the decision of
  RUSADA on suspension and the athlete was able to take part in the Olympic games. The
  International Skating Union, the International Olympic Committee, and the World Anti-
  Doping Agency (WADA) filed appeals against the Anti-Doping Committee’s decision. The
  Court of Arbitration for Sport denied all appeals and affirmed the decision of the RUSADA
  Anti-Doping Committee. The key point was the status of the skater a protected person
  according to the view of the WADA World Anti-Doping Code — a protected person. At the
  same time, the special regime for a protected person did not extend to the standard of proof.
  Such an athlete, like any other athlete, must prove on the basic of a “balance of probability”
  that a prohibited substance was entered through a contaminated product to lift a mandatory
  provisional suspension. In the opinion of the RUSADA Anti-Doping Committee, the athlete
  was able to prove a “reasonable possibility” of a prohibited substance entering her body
  through a contaminated product. The literal application of the norm of the All-Russian Anti-
  Doping Rules, in contrast to the WADA Code, is required to prove that “the violation most
  likely occurred due to the use of a contaminated product”. The extraordinary situation is
  commented on by the author.
