MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the court’s spokesman, Peter Yosi, told R-Sport that the court had received the appeal from Shubenkov, as well as a similar appeal from Russian long jumper Yelena Isinbaeva.
"Yes, we have lodged made an appeal…. We have most positive expectations from the process," Shubenkov told R-Sport.
On July 21, the CAS upheld the decision of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to ban 68 Russian track-and-field athletes from international competitions, hence banning them from taking part in the Rio Games. Long jumper Darya Klishina who trains outside of the country is the only Russian athlete who was permitted by the IAAF to compete as a neutral participant.
