The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has welcomed decisions of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) yesterday in relation to nine cases brought by the AIU against Russian Athletes. The decisions confirm Anti-Doping Rule Violations for all nine Russian athletes in connection with the findings of the WADA-commissioned reports of Professor Richard H. McLaren and the related Evidentiary Disclosure Packages (EDP).
Five athletes had
previously been found guilty of Anti-Doping Rule Violations in cases brought by the AIU before CAS acting as a First Instance Tribunal and had appealed those decisions to the CAS Appeals Division. The CAS Panel upheld the athlete’s Anti-Doping Rule Violation in each appeal and, in one case, upheld the 4-year sanction. In the other four appeals, the 4-year sanction issued at First Instance was partially reduced based on the panel’s overall assessment of the aggravating circumstances of each case.
