A Russian doping scandal, involving revelations of a state-backed system across many sports, following the Sochi 2014 Olympics led to Russian athletes competing as neutrals at subsequent Games as part of International Olympic Committee sanctions. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a special military operation, has also impacted an investigation into a drug scandal involving teenage Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at the 2022 Beijing Games.

The WADA Code requires such investigations to be completed in six months but in some cases allows for more time.
