Iannone update from Court of Arbitration for Sport


The FIM has taken due note of the press release issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport:

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing in the appeal arbitration procedures filed by the Italian MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone and the World Anti-Doping.

The panel of arbitrators will now deliberate and finalise the Arbitral Award containing their decision.

It is expected to be notified by mid-November 2020. The final award will be announced on the CAS website.

The proceedings concern the decision taken by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) International Disciplinary Court decision dated 31 March 2020 (the Challenged Decision) in which Andrea Iannone was found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation and an 18-month period of ineligibility was imposed on him.

Andrea Iannone seeks to have the Challenged Decision annulled, whereas WADA requests that the Challenged Decision be replaced by a new decision imposing a four-year period of ineligibility on the rider.
