So in your opinion, they should have falsified the correct verdict so they don’t “piss off” Americans… interesting opinion you have, favoritism + bullying all in one!
Not quite, but close. An arbitral tribunal (like the CAS) isn’t a “real” court, in the sense of being a government institution. And so while arbitral awards are generally binding, if there is a fundamental flaw in the arbitration process, you can apply to vacate the arbitration award. The grounds for doing so are very narrow, but this appears to be what they intend to do, given their reference to the Swiss courts.
CAS and the IOC about to fuck around and find out that there’s yet another sport the US excels at and that’s litigation

Well that’s why we’re here! That clearly wasn’t ideal for the powers that be. Tell me I’m wrong?!

With the hopium again. There is less than 5% chance the case is even accepted and in the history of TAS only 10 cases since 1984 have been overturned.
But sure this time.
To the Swiss Courts we go!
Yeah, to be honest, it’s a long shot. But worth it just to make them spend more time, money, and reputational capital defending the indefensible.
That’s hilarious.
Okay this made me cackle. It’s so true
