Alberto Salazar appeal over doping case suspension postponed
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Alberto Salazar’s appeal against a four-year ban in a doping case was postponed Thursday because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said it has moved next week’s scheduled hearing for Salazar and endocrinologist Jeffrey Brown to a new slot from March 3-12.
The court’s plans to hold in-person hearings have been affected by tighter travel restrictions during a renewed wave of COVID-19 infections.
Salazar and Brown were banned by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in October 2019 while the coach attended the world track and field championships in Doha.
