The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Thursday that a new hearing will be held in May for Chinese swimming star Sun Yang, who imposed an eight-year ban for doping last year. “There will be a new hearing during the week of 24–28 May 2021,” Cass said in a statement. Switzerland’s federal supreme court overturned the ban on the 29-year-old, who was accused by the collector of destroying a vial of blood at her home when she sided with the Triple Olympic champion in September 2018. Was charged.
The new hearing bribe comes just two months before the Tokyo Olympics are held.
1500 meter freestyle world record holder Ravi was initially suspended in February 2020.
However, the Swiss federal court agreed with the swimmer’s lawyers who argued that the chairman of the CAS panel, Italian Franco Fratini, had previously made anti-Chinese tweets. He claimed that the Twitter statements were racist by nature.
“Following the decision of the Swiss Federal Tribunal of 22 December 2020 to remove the previous chairman of the Arbitral Panel, other members of the panel stepped down and an entirely new panel was appointed,” the CAS statement was added on Thursday.
It will be made up of Switzerland’s new president Hans Natter, France’s Jan Paulson and Belgium’s Bernard Hanotiau.
“At the end of the hearing, the panel will begin its deliberations and formulate its decision.
“When the hearing is over, it will not be announced,” Cass said.
Suraj fiercely announced his innocence in the affair.
“I am confident of my innocence,” he told China’s Xinhua news agency soon after Cass’s original decision in February last year.
“I will definitely appeal to more people to know the truth.”
He also reiterated his defense that the doping tester who went to his home in September 2018 was not qualified.
Ravi, who served a three-month doping ban in 2014, said, “Let more people know the truth.”
“I believe in my innocence! Believe the truth and defeat the lie!”
Thanking China’s sports officials and their supporters – he is extremely popular in China – Sun said: “I will fight to the end to protect my legitimate rights and interests!”

The Chinese Swimming Association (CSA) said that “we deeply regret Cass’s decision” and emphasized the events of the Sun in 2018, when a vial of blood was beaten with a hammer.
The CSA stated that the examiners were “personnel without professional training and athletes had legal qualifications to collect samples, and the activity was illegal and invalid”.
