Russia doping case verdict expected by end of 2020
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — A verdict in the landmark doping case that could strip Russia of its identity at the Olympics is expected within two months, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said Thursday.
After a four-day hearing, CAS said it expected the ruling by a panel of three judges to “be notified to the parties by the end of this year.”
The hearing was for a dispute between the World Anti-Doping Agency and its Russian affiliate, known as RUSADA. The Russian agency was ruled non-compliant in December.
“WADA is satisfied with how we presented our case and we now look forward to receiving the decision of the Panel,” the global watchdog’s president, Witold Ba\u0144ka, said in a statement.
