Korea’s Park seeks ‘urgent’ ruling on Olympic ban
Print Edition
SOUTH Korean swim star Park Tae-hwan is seeking “an urgent ruling” by July 8 on his appeal against his Rio Olympics ban over doping, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said yesterday.
The multiple Olympic medalist completed an 18-month suspension in April after testing positive for an anabolic steroid in out-of-competition controls before the 2014 Asian Games. But he remains barred from competing in Rio, where the games begin on August 5, under a national rule which prohibits athletes from representing South Korea for three years after the expiration of any doping ban. Park’s legal team said earlier this month that they would challenge that rule at the Lausanne-based CAS. July 8 is the cut-off date for selection to South Korea’s Rio-bound swimming team. Park, 26, is seeking a judgment “that would potentially allow him to compete” in Brazil, CAS said.
