Sports lawyer Anna Antseliovich believes that it will take a long time for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to consider the appeals of different parties against the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU).
The CAS on Monday registered four appeals against the ISU’s decision to redistribute medals from the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games: from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), from the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Russian figure skaters and the Canadian Figure Skating Federation. Skating Federation.
— As we know, Canadians have long declared their intention to appeal the ISU decision regarding the distribution of medals at the 2022 Olympics. Usually, if cases are similar, they are usually combined to save money. human and financial resources, but rather for the sake of procedural consistency.
Imagine if, for example, some arbitrators heard Canada’s appeal and made an appropriate decision on it, and others, in turn, considered ours and acted in the same way. This will result in a mess. These cases will therefore be definitively consolidated and three arbitrators will be appointed. I accept that hearings can last more than a day, as was the case for Kamila Valieva. After which it will take some time to make a decision and express it. But I doubt there will be a quick review, because it is still complex,” Antsielovich was quoted as saying by RT.
At the end of January, the CAS suspended Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The 17-year-old Russian’s suspension period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results have been canceled since that date. The athlete’s sample contained banned trimetazidine.
The CAS decision led to a review of the results of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Games, in which the Russian team won. First place is now awarded to the American team, the Japanese are second, the Russians will receive bronze. The Canadians took fourth place.
