Russian skater, Valieva, failed drug test....
"Two days after Valieva landed two two quadruple jumps and skated near-perfect programs in Beijing, the medal ceremony was abruptly delayed. RBC, a Russian newspaper, reported Valieva had tested positive for traces of the heart medication trimetazidine, citing a source from the Russian Figure Skating Federation. (The drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, sends more blood and oxygen to the muscles and can improve athletes' endurance.) "
And so it begins.
