Russian Athletics files a new claim with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge sanctions imposed by World Athletics.
World Athletics excludes athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus from international events following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in March 2022. The measures remain in place after World Athletics reviews, including a council meeting in July that maintains the suspension. Russian Athletics therefore brings another CAS action alongside a separate appeal already filed to seek an overturn of the sanctions.
The outlets agree on the key procedural step—filing a new CAS claim—and on the broad basis for the sanctions, tied to the 2022 invasion and subsequent exclusion from international competition. They do not provide differing factual details on the federation’s arguments, the timeline of CAS deliberations, or any specific changes to the sanctions since the earlier appeal. As a result, the reporting focuses on what Russia’s track and field governing body is doing next in its attempts to challenge the governing body’s restrictions.
