Description: 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva came to the Winter Olympics in Beijing with the weight of a nation on her shoulders, but now has the eyes of the world on her instead. Valieva was allowed to compete despite the revelation that she failed a drugs test just weeks before the start of the Games. We’ll hear from the chief executive of the US Anti-Doping Agency Travis Tygart, and Rob Koehler from Global Athlete, to look at the fallout from another Olympic doping scandal. They’ll ask whether there should be a minimum age for athletes and what this has done for the Olympic image. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Riath Al-Samarrai Producer: Jake Katborg
