Swiss tribunal holds fire on Russian athletes’ ban
Print Edition
SWITZERLAND’S highest court declined yesterday to issue a preliminary injunction that would have let Russian Paralympic athletes compete at the Rio Games next month, saying instead it will rule later on the team’s ban due to state-sponsored doping.
Russia is appealing the Swiss-based International Paralympics Committee’s decision last month to ban its athletes from the September 7-18 competition. After losing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne last week, Russia took its case to the Swiss Federal Court. The tribunal decided that the Russian delegation had not done enough to justify an immediate lifting of the ban on its athletes in Rio, a court statement said. The court said that the Russian body had not demonstrated it had fulfilled all its obligations to anti-doping rules.
