Why it matters
L. v. International Olympic Committee (IOC), an anti-doping case in jump rope decided by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, the final tribunal of world sport. The Court held that the appeal was dismissed. For a student, it shows how CAS applies the World Anti-Doping Code: the athlete bears a heavy burden to explain an adverse finding, and CAS reviews both the science and the sanction afresh.
