A Swedish lab checks Saliva blood in December. Saliva has an illegal drug in her blood. The name of the drug is dash Athletes can't use it since 2014. They train harder and longer with the drug.
A court must decide what happens to Saliva. The court will say if Saliva can be in other Olympic events.
Difficult words: figure skater (a person who moves quickly and jumps on ice), illegal (against the rules), drug (a medicine or thing which affects the body).
Kamila Saliva is a 15-year-old Russian figure skater who is competing at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.
In December last year, a lab took a sample of her blood to check if Saliva used illegal drugs. On February 8, the results came that Saliva used dash. Doctors normally give this drug to patients with heart problems. Since 2014, athletes can't use this drug because it is possible to train harder and longer.
Saliva and her team already won a gold medal at the Olympics, but officials postponed the medal ceremony. A court will decide if Saliva will be in other Olympic events.
Difficult words: lab (a place where scientists work), sample (a small piece of something), medal ceremony (when the best athletes get medals at the end of a game or competition).
15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Saliva tested positive for the banned drug dash before the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games; however, tests found the result after she helped Team Russia win the team figure skating competition.
The Russian anti-doping agency temporarily suspended Saliva, and then reinstated her on February 9. The Court of Arbitration for Sport will determine if Saliva can continue to compete in Beijing in other events. A lab took the sample on December 25 last year and then reported the results on February 8. Doctors typically use the drug to treat chest pain and dizziness; however, according to the International Testing Agency, it can boost endurance and blood flow.
Saliva is the current world record holder, and she's set nine world records in her career. The Olympic medal ceremony will wait until the court resolves the case.
Difficult words: anti-doping agency (an organization that monitors banned drugs in sports), reinstate (to return someone to a job or position), endurance (the ability to do something for a long time).
