She has been cleared to compete in 2016 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
According to the CAS press release, the Italian skater and Olympic bronze medalist was disqualified from competition for lying to a doping control officer in 2012 about the whereabouts of her then-boyfriend, Olympic race-walker Alex Schwazer, when they came a-knocking at her door during an investigation of Schwazer's drug use while competing at the London Games.
A little white lie cost her a year of skating. Unfortunate, but glad to see her allowed back into the fold. The question is, will she compete?
