They can't decide on the evidence. So I guess they didn't like that the interpreters from Chinese to English were fairly useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get the feeling that this is more of a procedural issue, than an actual overturn of the verdict based on the evidence of the case. This is the system working though, since all athletes deserve a fair trial. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
