1·
2 months agoI was about to say… as the most decorated gold medal Olympians in the great sport of Litigation, I have no doubt that the USA will take this very far. As they should. The IOC, CAS and FIG should all be mortified at this, but we all know they are not so…
Nope. Not a chance in hell this isn’t fought as far as possible. I’m curious if there any legal or international legal minds on here who can comment/explain their thoughts on how the Swiss Court might look at this conflict of interest. My understanding is that the Swiss Court can only rule on the procedure of CAS, not the result of the appeal. If that’s the case, CAS should be forced to have a new panel look at all available evidence. Who the hell knows what happens next, but some of my agency friends are straight up giddy to try and represent Jordan as she’s going to get massive, massive deals after this - regardless of outcome. She’s handled herself exceptionally well.
