To be noticed: CAS stated the results achieved by the Athlete in the period prior to the CAS award being issued should not be disqualified.

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

I had no doubt even only after our friend's post, but still, CAS yesterday stated that they would publish the official decision on their website at 10 a.m. and they didn't...

"Considering 1) that FINA refrained from seeking the imposition of a provisional suspension on the Athlete when charging him with an anti-doping rule violation, 2) that doping tests performed on the Athlete shortly before and after the aborted doping control in September 2018 were negative, and 3) that in the absence of any evidence that the Athlete may have engaged in doping activity since 4 September 2018, including on the occasion of the FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea in July 2019, the results achieved by the Athlete in the period prior to the CAS award being issued should not be disqualified."
