Meanwhile, l & rsquo; today's edition of the newspaper & ldquo; South Tyrol & rdquo; and other media in the past days have reported l & rsquo; s intention & rsquo; lawyer Giovanni Fontana to leave, by agreement, the sponsorship of the skater. Nell & rsquo; waiting to learn more & ugrave; in this respect, it seems that we are still working hard to find a new lawyer.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport, born at the beginning of the eighties by the will & agrave; dell & rsquo; then IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, & egrave; became in 2003 an independent body from the International Olympic Committee. Known by the & rsquo; acronym TAS, the court & egrave; chaired by & rsquo; Australian John Coates and has as its task the resolution of sports disputes. In fact, is a Supreme Court in & rsquo; field of sports law. The faculty & agrave; to appeal to CAS it is for athletes, federations, national Olympic committees and organizations working on behalf of the IOC, such as WADA.
As for the case in question, the times of & rsquo; any appeal will be effective from the date of communication of the reasons for the sentence. Since that time, sar & agrave; can appeal within a deadline of thirty days.
However, the possible scenarios are varied and not necessarily positive. On the one hand, in fact, the CAS could confirm, cancel or reduce the disqualification, but, from & rsquo; another, you can not & ograve; exclude the so-called & ldquo; regression & rdquo ;. L & rsquo; eventualit & agrave; worst would arise if WADA decided to appeal the judgment of the Court National Anti-Doping, guilty of having lost a third of the disqualification, despite Kostner lied to an official WADA doping control officer.
The game & egrave; perci & ograve; still to be played. We'll see if it will prevail & agrave; the line to consider the behavior of the skater irrelevant to the misconduct perpetrated by & rsquo; then mate or if you decider & agrave; to comply strictly with the regulations currently in force, not to mention as lacking the intermediate shades between the two orientations.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
