Athletistic / Others. President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Stanislav Pozdnyakov shared his opinion on the work of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). According to Pozdnyakov, the organization has discredited itself.

Recall that the CAS previously decided to disqualify Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for a positive doping test for four years.

Due to Valieva’s disqualification, the Russian team was deprived of gold medals at the team championship of the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing (China). The Russians moved from first to third place.

French President Macron spoke about the admission of Russian athletes to the Paris Olympic Games

“CAS as an institution, as an independent sports arbitration, has discredited itself and has long since ceased to be independent.

The fact that the vice-president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the president of the CAS already says a lot.

It makes no sense to talk about any independence of the decisions taken in Lausanne by almost a single person,” quotes Pozdniakov.
