It see sporting bodies simply withdrawing from CAS jurisdiction. I feel like CAS has decided to show it’s not biased by choosing a sport with no real activity until November instead of deciding on the many sports ongoing at the moment. But CAS knows it’s funding and backing would be gone if it made decisions many national governments would simply overturn at the border.

According to this, Russian water polo teams WILL compete at this year's World Championships...
I doubt it. Hungary are the signatory of the boycott letter and that would contradict that.

Apparently the British Ban on Russian Drivers won’t apply for the F1 due to a clause in the license.
I suspect if Bans are overturned CAS will not be in existence in a year or two.
ExpandNo way Russia can win this, come on. The political decision to ban everything russian is already widely accepted. It would be a huge scandal.
Do CAS think like that. Everyone wanted Russia banned from the Olympics for doping and they refused. And everyone wanted Valieva banned and they refused to uphold that.
Russia have announced their are taking FIFA and UEFA to CAS over their ban.
This will be a major hearing. Because if Russia wins the consequences for Football’s future could be massive.
Total silence from GB Paralympics since their statement. Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing.
ExpandFIA didn't ban Russian & Belarussian drivers (the latter are virtually non-existent) from competing but Great Britain banned them from competing in their country so that probably means Nikita Mazepin won't take part in British GP later this season.

The BBC are saying Hass are going to sever ties with Mazepin. His dad is close to Putin.
ExpandAs expected. Anyway, I think CAS won't go against public opinion in this case and the arguments raised by IOC (breaking the olympic truce, ukrainians athletes not being able to compete due to russian attacks) are enough to keep the ban. But we'll see.
The bigger issue is the parlaympics. Countries are soon going to withdraw because Russia is not banned.
Sounds like 
is to withdraw from the Parlalympics.
ExpandStatement from ITF, WTA, ATP & four Grand Slam organizers. Nothing more can be done if you consider tennis is the most individual of all individual sports and basically all of the players' initial funding comes from their families or sponsors and not from any national boards.
I can’t see the UK Government letting Russians into the country to play in June.
ExpandWorld Athletics has made a decision to exclude all Russian, Belarusian and ANA-athletes from Russia from World Athletics events for the foreseeable future.
Upcoming events includes:
- World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships 2022
- World Athletics Indoor Championships 2022
- World Athletics Championships 2022
https://worldathletics.org/news/press-releases/world-athletics-council-sanctions-russia-and-belarus
That have a big impact on a few of the events.
ExpandBritish Swimming have said they support a ban on Russia and Belarus from all aquatics competition and said it will be withdrawing from any events currently due to be held in Russia or Belarus.
That includes the 2022 Fina Short Course Championships and the 2024 European Championships that are both currently scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia.
How long till FINA u turn then. Won’t be long.
Expand^ this is important context I feel. Russia has gone through basically every "intermediate" level of sanctions already for unrelated reasons this half decade. The IOC has nowhere to go but a full ban because they used every other option already for doping related violations.
I am skeptical that CAS would uphold a ban by the IOC on the grounds of breaking the Olympic Truce.
How long till FINA u turns on the plan to allow Russians to compete as neutrals and bans them totally. I predict no more than two weeks. Everyone knows FINA is too close to Putin’a regime.
From the BBC
The International Equestrian Federation has announced it will remove international events from Russia and Belarus and stop athletes and officials from both countries from participating in all competitions.
Here come the CAS cases. ‘Russian football's governing body, the RFU, said it "categorically disagreed" with the decision and would challenge it "in accordance with international sports law". ‘
CAS’s future is 100% on the line.
The British Paralympic committee has called on Russians and Belarussians to be kicked out of the Games.

It’s not only that. Many countries won’t allow Russians into compete anyway.
