All-Russian Athletics Federation Files Second Lawsuit Against World Athletics

A new claim filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) aims to challenge the sanctions imposed by World Athletics under British athlete Sebastian Coe's leadership.???? The main goal of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) is to return Russian athletes to the world sports arena and achieve the lifting of sanctions from the federation itself. The current restrictions infringe on the organization's rights and do not allow it to fully represent the interests of domestic athletics at the international level.Of particular concern is the fact that the sanctions are selective and politicized in nature: the tough stance towards Russia is declared only by the current head of World Athletics, a former member of the British Parliament from the Conservative Party, Sebastian Coe. The consequences of his decisions cause significant damage not only to Russian but also to world athletics, undermining the principles of equality and objectivity in sport.
