The Court of Arbitration for Sport's ad hoc division has already registered 11 appeals — predominantly involving Russian athletes excluded from the Olympics amid allegations of state-sponsored doping — in seven days since setting up in Rio de Janeiro, the same number it handled in the entire period of the last Summer Games in 2012.
The CAS released a statement Monday saying the cases of Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev, both Olympic medal-winning swimmers, had been adjourned and a decision on the future conduct of the hearing would be made Tuesday.
