Watching him from the sidelines were his three coaches, Eteri Tutberidze, Sergei Dudakov and Daniil Glichengauz, as well as team doctor Filipp Shvetsky and a physiotherapist
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday that it would ask its independent intelligence and investigative department to investigate the coaches, doctors and other adults surrounding the athlete
WADA also said that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) has indicated that it has already launched an investigation into the team as Valieva is a minor
Valieva tested positive for a banned heart drug at her national championships last December, but it took her more than six weeks to be notified, allowing her to compete in Beijing
