The appeal filed by Sheikh Salman Al-Sabah and the Kuwait ShootingFederation (KSF) at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the International Sport ShootingFederation (ISSF) concerning the result of the 2014 election for ISSF President has been dismissed.
In his appeal to the CAS, Sheikh Salman disputed the result of the vote held on 3 December 2014 inwhich the incumbent president, Mr Olegario Vasquez Raña, prevailed. Sheikh Salman alleged theexistence of a number of violations in the process, so severe as to flaw the election entirely. SheikhSalman sought an order that the result of the 3 December 2014 election be annulled and that a newelection be held. The ISSF held, on the other hand, that no such violations occurred, and that the resultsof the vote should stand.
The arbitration procedure was led by a panel of CAS arbitrators (Prof. Luigi Fumagalli, Italy(President), Mr Jeffrey Benz, USA and Dr Jan Räker, Germany), who held a hearing on 8 and 9 June2015.
The CAS Panel was unable to find sufficient evidence that the rule violations alleged by Sheikh Salmantook place, and in addition, could not find any indication of how certain alleged failures could haveaffected, or did affect, the validity of the election. Accordingly, the Panel has dismissed the appeal andthe result of the election is confirmed.
