It says in a strongly worded statement Thursday that it's time for “a fair and appropriate ruling to rightfully award medals to all clean sport athletes affected by this situation.” The Russian team won gold, but a positive doping test returned by Kamila Valieva has led to a lengthy and controversial investigation with no resolution nearly a year later.
