Sport’s highest court on Monday cleared 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to continue competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics22, but the teenager’s doping charge remained a stain on the Games.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld an earlier decision by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency to lift a ban on Valieva. Preventing Valieva from competing at the Olympics would have caused the teenager irreparable harm, CAS said in its ruling. The CAS ruling did not address the merits of Valieva’s drug case. That now sits in the hands of anti-doping authorities.

The Russian dazzled the skating world by becoming the first person ever to successfully land quad jumps in the women’s Olympic competition.“Such late notification was not her fault, in the middle of the Olympic Winter Games,” the ruling said.
