Vic Liu 1,620 Posted December 24, 2020 #301 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Chinese media also reported that the case back to CAS not free him from suspension. The reason is that a judge from CAS is racist and it is a procedual error. But during this period if he is allowed to compete in FINA events remain unclear. Anyone please share infomoation. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Vojthas 947 Posted December 24, 2020 #303 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I mean, even if it is procedural - how the hell can CAS make a procedural mistake? Are the judges there 25-years-old just graduated or old, experienced judges? Even if, how can a court (I mean Swiss Federal) do not care whether the procedural mistake had an influence on the matter. Last year there has been a case of Polish Curling Federation. The decision was "innocent" although the Federation did not fulfill its duty of checking sth, but as this sth did not influence on further decision, it was upheld.

The whole story China report is that Sun’s lawyer argued that one of the judge of CAS had some racist speeches of Chinese thus he is not neutral enough to be the judge. And Swiss court agreed with this procedural error and ordered CAS to hear this case again. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalgorka 1,426 Posted December 24, 2020 #306 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I wouldn't say that e.g. not having respect for a Chinese ruling party and its policies makes you a racist. But - as a lawyer - i agree that he should not be a judge on that particular case. This is quite obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very possible that - sadly, but i hope i am wrong here - we will not have this ruling before end of July 2021, so he may swim in Tokyo.

He will retire after Tokyo Olympic anyway. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a huge risk for China to let him compete in Tokyo. If it goes back to CAS and the same verdict is reached again, he almost certainly loses any medal he wins in Tokyo and China will look very foolish dcro and rafalgorka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that, when most of the Russians from the 2014 Olympics were cleared, nobody mentioned that the Austrian who judged the case had been recorded as supporting the Russian invasion of Crimea and saying it was justified under international law.
