LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The Russian anti-doping system will go on trial at the Court of Arbitration for Sport next week with two Olympic medals at stake.
CAS will hear appeals from the IAAF on Dec. 2-3 against six Russian athletes, the country’s track and field federation and the national anti-doping agency, the court said Tuesday.
The IAAF is challenging selective timing of bans imposed by RUSADA in January after blood doping was proved.
The cases could mean disqualification for two Olympic medalists from the 2012 London Games, men’s 50-kilometer race walk champion Sergei Kirdyapkin and women’s 20-kilometer walk silver medalist Olga Kaniskina.
