The FINA DP determined that the<strong> International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI)<\/strong>, the protocol adopted by the <strong>World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA)<\/strong> for the conduct of doping controls, had not been properly followed in the circumstances and that accordingly, the sample collection was invalid. As a consequence, the FINA DP ruled that the athlete had not committed any anti-doping rule violation.<\/p>\n<p>WADA filed an appeal at CAS against that decision, considering that Sun Yang voluntarily refused to submit to sample collection and requesting that a period of ineligibility of minimum 2 years and maximum 8 years be imposed on him.<\/p>\n<p>The parties have exchanged written submissions to present all their arguments and requests. They are now called to appear at a hearing in the presence of the Panel of arbitrators.

The first public hearing, which took place in 1999, was in the matter <strong>Michelle Smith De Bruin v. FINA<\/strong>. At the beginning of 2019, following a decision taken by the <strong>European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in the cases Pechstein &amp; Mutu v. Switzerland<\/strong>, the CAS updated its procedural rules to widen the scope for hearings to be held in public, which can be held at the sole request of the athlete when the dispute is of a disciplinary nature.<\/p>\n<p>This public hearing was requested by Sun Yang. Neither WADA, nor FINA raised any objection to such request and the CAS Panel confirmed that a public hearing should be organised.<\/p>\n<h2>Logistics<\/h2>\n<p>The hearing will be held at the <strong>Fairmont Le Montreux Palace in Montreux, Switzerland<\/strong>, commencing at 9.00am and concluding at approximately 8.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>A public viewing area will be available for written media and members of the public to observe the proceedings. Access to the public viewing area will be strictly controlled and advance registration is required. Observers seated in the public viewing area must in no way interfere with the orderly conduct of meetings and must follow the instructions issued by the CAS and by the security staff at all times.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment the hearing starts, all or parts of the hearing will be available by livestream via the CAS website www.tas-cas.org.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun Yang Faces WADA at CAS The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will argue that a penalty of between two and eight years be handed down to Chinese Olympic champion Sun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7532,"featured_media":382482,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[58005,116279,116280,67854,184,116281,6018,893,116282,116283,115907,116284,116286,116285,31742,824,9828,6273],"class_list":["post-401926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-cas","tag-chinese-olympic-champion","tag-court-of-arbitration-for-sport-doping-panel","tag-doping-panel","tag-fina","tag-international-standard-for-testing-and-investigations","tag-international-swimming-federation","tag-ioc","tag-isti","tag-judge-franco-frattini","tag-montreux","tag-panel-president","tag-prof-philippe-sands-qc","tag-romano-f-subiotto-qc","tag-sun-yang","tag-switzerland","tag-wada","tag-world-anti-doping-agency"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
