CAS is starting to rule for the swimmers which committed previous doping violation, letting them compete at the Olympics. Morozov and Lobintsev have been cleared, Efimova is still waiting.

 

As I said before this was probably the easiest decision CAS has ever made, Osaka rule and everything.

Doesn't seem like CAS had anything to do with that decision... :mumble:

htere's not officialconfirmation, but it's almost sure that Viktoria Orsi-Toth (ITA, Beach Volley) was tested positive for Clostebol (steroids, the same substance of sailor Roberta Caputo)...

 

so, even if she could be replaced by another Italian specialist, we don't have a competitive team anymore...maybe it would be better to pull out of the competition...

I thought Morozov and Lobintsev were banned because of being named in McLaren Report. So they have nothing to do with Osaka rule

 

It doesn't make any sense anyway. They're either on the report or they're not. There is no room for a possible judgement call by FINA here, It's not like they have misread the name or something.

Unless FINA are arguing that banning someone because they are in the McLaren report is unfair?

It's IOC's decision, not FINA's one and I don't see FINA (or anyone else) going full frontal with IOC on that subject.

FINA statement

 

"The eligibility of Russian swimmers Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev to compete at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 has not been confirmed, and will not be confirmed until the IOC’s three-person commission to review Russian entrants renders its final decision on these athletes, along with the other members of the Russian swimming team," it said.

So what exactly is job of CAS? Allowing dopers to compete?

 

They allow a fair trial. You can't punish a person twice and that is exactly what the IOC told sport federations to do. If she was implicated in the report then there would be an argument for her not to compete. Right now she's no different than Tyson Gay.
