An ongoing legal issue that could affect the medallists in the team figure skating competition at the Beijing Olympics, an event in which Canada finished fourth, has caused the award ceremony to be delayed, the IOC said Wednesday.

The ceremony to award the Russian team the gold medals, the United States silver and Japan bronze was pulled from its scheduled slot late Tuesday.

Reporters asked the Kremlin about the issue later Wednesday amid speculation that the gold medals won by six Russian skaters could be at risk. “Let’s, for the sake of understanding, wait for some explanations either from our sports officials or from the IOC,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

IRS to offer Taxpayer Assistance Centers on Saturday

Internal Revenue Service is offering walk-in hours at dozens of Taxpayer Assistance Centers across the U.S. on Saturday, as part of a broader effort by the backlogged agency to provide better service to taxpayers. TACs are typically not open on weekends, but the agency announced last month that certain locations would offer Saturday face-to-face availability on the second Saturdays in February, March, April and May."Being open on select Saturdays is offered for people to get the help they need when they need it," IRS Wage and Investment Division Commissioner and Taxpayer Experience Officer Ken Corbin said in a statement. "We know that many taxpayers work during the week or have other obligations that make it difficult to get away to take care of their taxes during our routine business hours," he continued, adding, "We're here to help, and people don't need an appointment during these special Saturday hours."FILE IMAGE - The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) building in Washington, DC, on Feb.

Olympic officials on Saturday said they would welcome an anti-doping investigation into the Russian doctors, coaches and family members in the entourage of gold medal winning teenage skater Kamila Valieva.Valieva’s future at the Beijing Olympics hangs in the balance after the stunning revelation she had tested positive for a banned substance before winning the team event on Monday, but that the positive drug test report took more than six weeks to be made public.Fans of figure skating, athletes and anti-doping advocates have expressed outrage over a teenager being dragged into the center of an Olympic doping controversy with a positive test for an angina drug.
