the a rumors have it that the i figure k to in question is camille of oliva of r o. c team, who was absolutely stella only ice last weekend, winning a gold with the russian figure skating team. but for the 1st time in the limbic gangs history, the metal ceremony has now been postponed for almost 4 days now. and this is of course, causing a lot of speculation. we also heard from the spokesperson off the russian figure skating union, who told us that camille of oliva was not suspended from the participation at these olympic games in beijing. she will continue but dissipating here. moreover, by eva herself. a 15 year old skate i took to the ice this morning in a training session, which is already a good sign, but we've already been receiving wards of support for camila oliva in this very difficult situation. camila believe as program at the european championships made me want to short program to be a little longer. what a wonderful skater if her performance didn't inspire the whole world to take up figure skating? i don't know. what would the talk of the town and i spok

and if camille of oliva is deemed innocent by the spinal, she will continue participating. they're hoping to win another gold for the r o c team. we understand from multiple sources with inside knowledge of the situation that the a legit doping case will be reviewed later. even possibly after the olympics, which still cost a bit of a shadow uncertainty over the metal ceremony itself of the team figure skating event. a just to remind that is unprecedented in the history of the olympic games that its been delayed for a week. pretty much every one on the russian side of the spectrum, these sports ministry, the russians stating, union all have been st. camila, believe us in a sense, believe australia at $82.00 bitty, the also gave a short interview on the situation. also saying that val eva was innocent, but in the latest news, we've heard that the world anti doping agency will also investigate camila leave us answering her train us and doctors as part of this case. but most likely this will, of course, drag on after the olympics is over. i'm closely monitoring this developing s

the short, a skating program here, wrapped up in beijing and camille of oliva is now shasta after this 1st round of because there was although obviously going to be a 2nd one on the should about go over all r o c is 2nd as well. and the alexander through silver, also another russian competing here. she is 4th, currently in the rankings. we obviously see what's going to happen on thursday. i have to tell you, though, it's quite spectacular to seek a meal of oliva, even with all the prussia that's been mounted on her recently. even with the mistakes that she's made during her performance. that she still raining supreme in the chart here until thursday, at least, ah, what is very emotional. those 2 things that when she was coming on to the ice, the whole stadium was erupting and very loud applause. and also the fact that when she finished her performance, she was in tears that was really heart wrenching and gut wrenching to watch, to be honest with you. but right now things are looking good. have to remind you though that eva camille, of oliva ends up in the top 3. no meaning. if she wins

but for now, at least for now, camille of oliva can participate in the games. and we are anxiously anticipating her appearance on the ice to morrow morning, begging time. as we know, she has not just escaped us. she's one of the most talent escaped us on planet earth. so let's see how she performs and where the oldest story has had any negative psychological impact on her. now, although the live has got the all clear to compete, russia is anti doping agency is not happy with the whole affair. in fact, they want to look into so called possible testing irregularities and why the results were reported. so late that has wide accuses its russian branch of failing to label valley every sample properly for expedited pre games processing. and we catch up with a sports lawyer doctor lucien bologna. he explained why he supports the court's decision. this is the only right position to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen, but to not allow have would have been the worst. all depends what the explanation is, but it seems that rose out alr

but for now, at least for now, camille of oliva can participate in the games. and we are anxiously anticipating her appearance on the ice to morrow morning, begging time. as we know, she's not just escaped us. she's one of the most talented skaters on planet earth. so let's see how she performs and where the oldest story has had any negative psychological impact on her. although volley ever got the all clear to compete russia's anti doping agency is dissatisfied with the whole affair. it says it will look into any possible testing irregularities and also question why the results were reported. so late. short time ago, i caught up with a sports lawyer, doctor lucy and bologna, who explain why he supports the court's decision. this is the only road position to work that was to be made because nobody knows what in the end will happen, but to not allow her would have been the worst. all depends what the explanation is, but it seems that rose out already lifted the suspension that there must be a good reason. now costs need also follow rules. the rules are clear. it

all believe in the who said that camille of oliva, what's not suspended from her participation in the olympic games here. we can only assume that means a the that, that the doping case will not stand and we are waiting for cause details on the aisle seat for the more camille on he was traina, a world renowned, i figure skater skating china. and at that it would be, needs a, was questioned by russia media in the mix. so on a bout the doping allegations, her response was very brief and sharp that i would not be dealing with any kind of speculation. as for the official reaction from russia, we can see now on the screens as the reactions from the russian sport ministry that to the day reiterated. they're consistent position against all kinds of violations of both the rules of sport and the olympic ethic. that's pretty much everything we have on the official side. but tell you what on the unofficial side, i just came back from the figure stating event involving a male figure skaters were nathan, 10 of the u. s. one, his gold medal. and all 3 russian statist fell during that performance is,

we also heard from the trainer of camille oliva, a wold renowned ice figure skating traina at a little bitty, to who sat in response to a question from a russian journalist about whether this was a doping, guys. she said, i will not deal with any kind of speculation. again, this is all circumstantial at this moment. we can only assume that this might not be a open case at all, or might be something different, but it is a case of some complexity definitely. first and foremost, because the metal ceremony is now being delayed for an unprecedented amount of time . secondly, because we are still waiting for the statement for several hours now. it still hasn't been produced by now the i o c. but the talk of the town and i spoke to both ex figure skaters, and journalists and experts available at the venue that this may be already delivering a very serious stole psychologically on the russian ice figure, skating team and the whole r o c olympic team in general, for instance i, i can only assume this is related, but during the male figure skating performance this morning. all 3 of our o. c. ska

, we also heard from the spokesperson off the russian figure skating union, who told us that camille of oliva was not suspended from the participation at these olympic games in beijing, she will continue but dissipating here. moreover, by eva herself, a 15 year old skate i took to the ice this morning in a training session, which is already a good sign that she is allowed to participate. so this might not be a dope in case after all, but what it is, eventually we are yet to find out. meanwhile, we've already been receiving words of support for camille oliva in this very difficult situation, including that from a former olympic athletes list. listen, sex, talent appears once in a lifetime. camille, i believe is program at the european championships made me want the short program to be a little longer. what a wonderful skater if her performance didn't inspire the whole world to take up figure skating, i dont know what would it is a case of some complexity definitely. first and foremost because the metal ceremony is now being delayed for an unprecedented amount of time. secondly, because we are

oh, eyes were on russian figures gating star, camille of oliva. and she returned to the ice after testing positive for doping, the 15 year old, posted and impressive score of $82.00 to put her head in the hunt for olympic figure skating gold, a gold that she may never be awarded. but it was not a flawless performance valley, eva stumbled on her opening, jump in the opening short program, but regained her composure. she broke into tears after completing her routine, the strain of the past week, fully visible. oh my next guess tonight is no stranger to international competition. on the ice, she competed for the united states at the 2014 winter olympics in sochi. that was before the coven 19 pandemic cut her career short. she's now the host of the believe in figure skating. podcast on the believe podcast network. i'm pleased to welcome to the dave former figure skater, paulina edmonds believe it's good to have you with us. and i want to begin with something that you tweeted on the decision to allow camilla believe it to compete. let's pull this up and

union, all filed and appeal against the russian anti anti doping agencies decision to allow camille of oliva to participate in the olympic games. she won the appeal very quickly on february, 8th of the result came back with a positive or with a positive probe. and on february 9th or sada, decided to let camila val eva to participate. we still don't know the details as to why rosetta has taken that decision, but the 3 organisations, the i o. c, the world anti doping agency and of the international skating union union, all filed an appeal against a decision. this is something that they a cas panel will have to review. now we do know that on this panel there are 3 people, one from the united states, one from italy, and one from slovenia. and it's important to note here that they will only review camila, believe us further participation in the olympic games they are expected to deliver their is in, by monday evening bathing time. and on tuesday, the female figure skating individual performances will start image in beijing. and if camille of oliver is deemed innocent by the cas panel, she will co

matthew read that he felt and the scent cas panel also felt that and negative decision against camille of oliva woods. ah, do irreparable. will damage to the athlete. that's a direct quote from mister eve. i consider she's such a of such a young age considering the circumstances under which all this happened. so that is also the reason why she is allowed to continue her performance is here. and 3rd, also a quite an important reason that's been talked about a lot, including the head of the russian olympic committee says off was nick off the timing of the probe as we remember the sample which brought back a positive result for treatment. as a dean, a band b e. d. substance listed on the water band beattie subsets is list that the probe was taken on december 25th in st. petersburg, russia and the positive result only arrived on february the 7th. so basically, according to costs, this gave no time at all for believer and her entourage and her legal team to build any kind of defense. and that is why she was allowed to continue in these olympics . it's also important to note, and that is probably the

and in the case of camille of oliver, he is out with pitchforks already saying that the entire anti doping system is at fault and that of oliva definitely should not have competed at the olympics. so definitely enough success, city in what is supposed to be an event of premier sports and competition on the pitch, not off the pitch. but tonight of course, camille of oliver and other russian think escaped us. i'll take him to the ice. i will be there and i'll be watching, and i'll keep you updated on everything happening here in beijing, alexia shasky, artie reporting from beijing and china. los our, i spoke to a board winning sportswriter allen. abraham son is also in beijing covering the games. he says that her concerning degree of hypocrisy in how the u. s. is reacting to believe his case. we in the united states manage somehow to have a willful blindness, a willful ignorance, when it comes to american athletes who cheat part of the problem. of course, you can use the connotative, the neutral word like challenge set or problem. is that of course, a words like russia, doping scandal, or red meat for the, for the western press

but even if camille of oliva ends up on the podium, that would happen on thursday, because it's the 2 pots competition here for the metals and individual female. i stick escalating competition. the metal ceremony in that case shall not be conducted. i've never seen anything like that in a history of olympic games in a way. the i o. c has the right to do that by the books considering it's the official investigation which is still continuing into the doping allegations against value. and it will continue for some time as when to stand after the mimics is over even up to a year, as some experts have been suggesting, but still even before the competition kicked offs coming up with such a statement that is something really, really wild. i have to say there is a lot of an infuriated reactions from russian athletes and russian journalists. and obviously we are waiting for any kind of reaction from the russian olympic committee. now i'd like to remind that all this comes after this morning. the court of arbitration for sports after an 8 hour meeting at debating hotel, decided to let camila le

positive probe, which came back with allegedly a doping test and a positive dog dog test off camille of oliva. that itself, the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for while you were to mount any kind of defense. it came now in the middle of the olympics on february 8th, despite the bro was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it's b questions as to how white this and it took so long. secondly, and that is a very important statement by cost that athletes should not be subject to the risk of serious harm caused by anti doping authorities. failure to function effectively at a high level of performance. and this is basically exactly what happens to believe if you consider her performance last night. this is a very serious hom, especially when it comes to our psychological state. and also that's not forget that our cost is not ruling out that all this may have been a technical mistake. there is a probability that the onsite up in the portrait might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample. this is why the athlete wil

made public by the statement from the international testing association this morning that a camille of oliva, a 15 year old russian. i figure skater, not just the skate to bought an absolute superstar with absolutely stella performances, apparently a one of the robes that was taken from ha anti doping probes in december, in russia, in st. petersburg that happened on december 25th during the russian championship. which believe a warm comfortably as us insured her participation in the beijing olympics. so that prob, brought back a positive result for try me at, at zene, which is a band substance according to the wanda band substances list. the big question here is that the positive result from that probe arrived on february the 8th. and i have to explain here, this is an absolutely crucial thing to understand before you start accusing the athlete and the rustling become each of any wrongdoing. this probe was taken on december 25th by the russian anti doping agency. as we know, sada is deemed noncompliant by water. and thus, according to the protocol, rasa had to send that probe to a certified

in any case, there's been also a flurry of wards of support for camille of oliva july to his case. i wish for you to remain calm and hey, she turned association. you any. it's very difficult here and a lot of as a great after you will overcome elise and perform wonderfully all that we believe in museum. can somebody have had a thought? everything will be fine. you'll get through it. don't worry. i will let you know. i want to wish her good luck and say that's lucky, very much a proud of her success in hip she teams again receive money which is in your piece of land. very worried about half from the birth of my heart. i wish her success golf. regardless of how the competition goes, he and range in beijing whole female skaters in the individual program. we understand everyone understands here that it's just the beginning of the story. go believe or is allowed to participate, but clearly there will be an investigation. there will be legal cases just trying to find out where the she really did use the band substance tri, met as a dean just before coming here to beijing. but we've alread

we also heard from the spokesperson off the russian figure, skating union, who told us that camille of oliva was not suspended from the participation at these olympic games in bay jing she will continue, but dissipating year moreover, by eva herself, a 15 year old skate, i took to the ice this morning in a training session, which is already a good sign. we've already been receiving words or support for camila leave or in this very difficult situation. camila leave is program at the european championships, made me want the short program to be a little longer. what a wonderful skater if her performance didn't inspire the whole world to take up figure skating? i don't know. what would the talk of the town and i spoke to both ex figure skaters, and journalists and experts available at the venue that this may be already delivering a very serious, told psychologically on the russian ice figure, skating team and the whole r o c olympic team. in general, for instance, i can only assume this is related, but during the male figure skating performance this morning, all 3 of our o. c, stay just fell dur

took the sample and then under the regulations were sada, imposed an automatic suspension on camille of oliva basically meaning she would not be able to take part in the olympics that happened on february 8th and on february 9th val leave a one the appeal, so if she won the appeal, there must be some extenuating circumstances. there are several available including medical reasons because this is after all and medication before it becomes doping. it's also medication every athlete in the world. if it, if the awfully provides a medical document suggesting that this drug had to be taken for medical reasons that it's not considered as doping. that i'd have been the case off of oliva because she won the appeal. and that means there is something in it which we don't know. the crucial thing here is some sort of statement from santa, which would explain exactly why they decided to allow their athlete to participate in the beijing olympics. i don't believe they are a suicide squad. they find doping, they suspend the athlete, and then they allow the, the acted with supposed it doping to take part in th

of we also heard from the spokesperson off the russian figure skating union, who told us that camille of oliva was not suspended from the participation at these olympic games in bay jing she will continue, but dissipating year moreover, if i leave a herself a 15 year old skate, i took to the ice this morning in a training session, which is already a good sign. we've already been receiving wards of support for camila lever in this very difficult situation. camila believe as program at the european championships made me want the short program to be a little longer. what a wonderful skater if her performance didn't inspire the whole world to take up figure skating? i don't know. what would the talk of the town and i spoke to both ex figure skaters, and journalists and experts available at the venue that this may be already delivering a very serious stole psychologically on the russian ice figure, skating team and the whole r o c olympic team. in general, for instance, i can only assume this is related, but during the male figure skating performance this morning, all 3 of our o c's status failed d

proven, we spoke to a cardiologist through explained how the band substance might have effected camille of oliva lloyd year in year many coaches consult with doctors, he don't see the lesson forbidden substances ross. it seems something like this happened to maria. she wrap over with mold, journeyman. i see what's also important is that tri metacity ins. effects has not been properly studied. could people under the age of 18 on the one hand, it's a very mild medicine, more like a vitamin that there is a whole science studies how medicines should be prescribed if it children. because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research. athletes recovery is usually reached through the right type of training and physical activity, not with medication. i believe white list should be compiled, just give them a list of the products. athletes can take, white lists would have solved the problem. of oliver's fans have been quick to offer support to the 15 year old and we had the doping allegations, a russian. i thought i told my colleague nikki, are on that believers continuing to train despite
