PARIS: The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday upheld a ban on high jumper Danil Lysenko, whose missed doping tests briefly halted the international reinstatement of Russian athletes in 2019. CAS had upheld charges laid by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) against the 2017 world championship silver medallist “for multiple breaches of the Anti-Doping rules including whereabouts failures and tampering with the results management process,” said an AIU statement. In July 2020, World Athletics suspended the process of allowing Russian athletes to return to competition after the country’s athletics federation (RusAF) had failed to pay a $5 million fine and $1.31 million in costs for helping cover up Lysenko’s missed tests.
