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.

this was a decision by the FIL (their own Court of Arbitration), CAS isn't involved nor mentioned in the posted article

Oh sorry. 
 

 

hard to see many of the luge hosting countries letting Russian and Belarusian competitors in it will be a moot point anyway.

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

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.

All Russians who refuse to outright condemn Putin are scum. Refusing to ban scum is the disgrace.

You mean publicly? Easy to do when you don't have to go back to Russia.

Outright codemning Putin is very easy to do indeed. You know, when you're not in Russia, have no business to ever be in Russia and have no family in Russia.

It’s the same as the transgender issue. Everyone wants someone else to take the decision, so nothing gets done.

Then accept you can’t play sport for a while because.
