CAS will announce the result of Sun Yang case tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the finale of this big drama. Big event for Chinese sport fans.

Meanwhile as expected CAS annulled Filippo Magnini's 4 year ban - it turns out that some sort of evidence is needed to ban an athlete...

‘Fraid so.  Too much too young really, but London was 8 years ago now.  Had the unique honour of being Olympic Champion before she became World Youth Champion.

And Youth Olympic champion too. Imagine going to the YOG with a gold medal at the 'big' Olympics. Insane.

Sun Yang will be banned for 8 years from today.

basically, no agreement between the parties = no public hearing and said hearing won't happen before the end of April...

Although the title is wrong. CAS can't ban anyone, they just upheld WADA's decision.
