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. this was a decision by the FIL (their own Court of Arbitration), CAS isn't involved nor mentioned in the posted article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Bun 337 Posted April 9, 2022 #283 Share Posted April 9, 2022 FIL have done this in the hope that the conflict ends by the start of the season, can see them being banned again once most of the athletes refuse to compete in WC events.

It would be good if FIL keeps their backs straight and just says "ok, bye" to refusing athletes. I know, not likely to happen, but still.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted April 9, 2022 #289 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It’s the same as the transgender issue. Everyone wants someone else to take the decision, so nothing gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
