https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sport-doping-russia/doping-wada-requests-cas-ruling-on-russias-ban-idUSKBN1Z82L3

'The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) formally asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Thursday to rule on Russia’s four-year ban for doping, after the agency handed down the punishment for manipulating laboratory data.

The move was expected after the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) sent a letter to WADA last month formally disputing the punishment, which bars Russia from competing in this year’s summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 2022 winter Games in Beijing.

Only athletes who can prove they are clean competitors would be permitted to compete under the ban, and would have to do so as so-called “neutral” athletes.

The ruling has hit Russia’s national pride in its athletes, with the country regularly sending large delegations to both the summer and winter Olympics. [...]

The United States, however, said the punishment was not severe enough, with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency head Travis Tygart telling Reuters that the previous sanctions only emboldened Russia.'

oh, really? just like the whole "deconfliction mechanism" strategy in Syria, you mean?
