Russia's Kamila Valieva returned to the ice Tuesday night after spending a week at the center of a doping scandal. Valieva,15, touched the ice after attempting a triple axle during her short program performance and scored an 82.16. She finished in first place and will compete in the long program on Thursday. The teen has been embroiled in controversy since testing positive for trimetazidine, a heart medication banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency due it its capability to improve endurance and blood flow. Attorneys for Valieva argued she ingested the banned substance because of a medication her grandfather takes, veteran IOC member Denis Oswald confirmed earlier Tuesday. She was initially suspended but was reinstated after her appeal. After her return to the ice, Valieva appeared to tear up at the end of her performance. 📸.
