A sports arbitration court has dismissed the request of Ukrainian skeletonist Heraskevič, preventing him from participating in the Olympics.
The sports arbitration court, established for the Olympic Games, has ruled against Ukrainian skeletonist Heraskevič regarding his request to participate in the upcoming Olympics. The court's decision was based on guidelines set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which allow for free expression by athletes while also granting organizers the ability to impose restrictions at the event venues. The judge deemed these restrictions justified and proportionate, as there are other avenues for athletes to express their views, such as press conferences and social media.
