The ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) atthe Olympic Games Rio 2016 has rendered its decision in the case Yulia Efimova v/ Russian OlympicCommittee (ROC), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International SwimmingFederation (FINA).
Like in the case Karabelshikova & Podshivalov v/ International Rowing Federation (FISA), which wasdecided earlier today by a CAS Panel, the Panel of CAS arbitrators in charge of this matter alsoconfirmed that point 3 of the IOC Executive Board’s decision of 24 July 2016 is unenforceable.
As a consequence, the appeal has been partially upheld on that limited ground but all other prayers forrelief have been rejected, including 1) the request that Yulia Efimova be directly declared eligible toparticipate in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and 2) the request to oblige the IOC to accept the entry ofYulia Efimova to compete in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The full award with the grounds will be published on the CAS website on 5 August 2016.
