Mandy Bujold would have far preferred fighting this battle within the familiar ropes of the ring.
Instead, the Tokyo Olympic fate for Canada s best boxer lies in the hands of the Court of Arbitration for Sport after her Tokyo qualifying tournament was scrapped due to COVID-19.
Bujold and her lawyer Sylvie Rodrigue were denied their appeal to the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday, leaving the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne her last chance to box in what would be her final Games.
