Mr. Sands was the President of that Panel, a fact which probably did not go unnoticed by
#sunyang's defense team

[Swiss Sports Law @swiss_law]

This will certainly will be referred in closing submissions but the questioning of Mr. Kemp should remind us of the following passage of Campell-Brown (CAS 2014/A/3487), one of the cases we studied in class : https://t.co/XvXDNgo2n1

[The WADC Commentary @WADC_commentary]

And even more experienced as a CAS arbitrator in general, with 144 total CAS cases going back more than 10 years (according to his CV)

[Swiss Sports Law @swiss_law]

@wada_ama very experienced in #antidoping (at least 36 cases according to #CAS database) : https://t.co/Po3QkcalGN

The Decision under appeal gives a good indication of what the main arguments will be. It was leaked and is publicly available here https://t.co/qtiM4rb3Q5

[Swiss Sports Law @swiss_law]

While the Panel is very familiar with the arguments developed in the briefs, the public could have benefitted from a summary of the parties’ main submissions and an indication why they think the witness evidence to be heard will supports their case. #SunYang

ECtHR judgment in Mutu/Pechstein: CAS arbitration is not against human rights, despite dissenting opinion by the Swiss member of the Court! This is consistent with the Swiss Supreme Court’s repeated remark that the CAS system is “perfectible”. #sportslaw #sportsarbitration

[LKKSportsLaw @LKKSportsLaw]

ECtHR judgment in Mutu/Pechstein confirms that CAS is an independent arbitral tribunal and that CAS arbitration is compatible with most fundamental procedural rights and due process, provided that the athlete can have a public hearing https://t.co/1gXnREpp0O
