Russian teenage figure skating sensation Kamila Valieva is cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport to continue competing in the Beijing Olympics despite failing a doping test. CAS Director General Matthieu Reeb says that Valieva is considered a "protected person under the World Anti-Doping Code" and that "the panel considered that preventing the athlete to compete at the Olympic Games would cause her irreparable harm." The International Olympic Committee has announced that there will be no medal ceremony for the women's singles figure skating at the Beijing Olympics if Kamila Valieva finishes in the top three.
