Russian Track and Field Files New Claim with CAS over Sanctions Imposed by World Athletics
Russian Athletics says the ban blocks its officials from World Athletics votes and training programs as it seeks to restore international competition rights.
- On Monday, Russian Athletics filed a new claim with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland, challenging sanctions imposed by World Athletics that bar Russian competitors from international events.
- World Athletics has excluded competitors from Russia and Belarus since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, citing concerns regarding the integrity of international sport, unlike other sports bodies that allowed limited participation.
- Boris Yaryshevskiy, chief executive director of Russian Athletics, said the restrictions hinder normal operations and development, preventing them from "properly representing our sport in the international arena."
- While the International Olympic Committee eased restrictions last month ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics—which the Kremlin called an "important step"—World Athletics reaffirmed its ban on July 3.
- This filing follows a separate appeal Russian Athletics launched July 9; the federation has retained international sports lawyers and intends to pursue further legal action to lift the sanctions.
