[HIGHLIGHTS] Russian Olympic Committee has its request rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and is still suspended

Russian Olympic Committee has its request rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and is still suspended. The court based in Lausanne also indicates that its decision is, at its level, “final and binding” but that it can be appealed within 30 days to the Swiss Federal Court.

On the eve of the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the CAS considers that the IOC "did not undermine the principles of legality, equality, predictability and proportionality" The now confirmed suspension of the ROC was added to a range of sanctions taken by the IOC at the end of February 2022.
