Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was worn out after a grueling doping hearing ended with her being allowed to skate Tuesday in the women's short program at the Beijing Olympics.

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva gave a positive doping test on December 25 last year during the Russian national championship, the International Testing Agency (ITA) officially announced. Valieva, 15 years of age, used the banned substance trimetazidine.
