Russia appeals to Court of Arbitration

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Tuesday that Russian officials have filed appeals against governing bodies in soccer, figure skating and speedskating, gymnastics, rowing, rugby and biathlon. …

The headline legal case in soccer saw FIFA ban Russian teams from its global competitions, which removed the men’s national team from World Cup qualifying last month. …

ESPN

As much as I feel rotten for Russian athletes who do not support Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the bans should be upheld.

When Putin withdraws, those athletes should be quickly allowed to return.

Oleg Vernyayev defending his nation

Stay safe.

Meanwhile, Nikita Nagorny won’t be allowed to compete Bundes League in Germany due to his pro-war support of Putin.
