The Canadian showjumping team’s place at the Tokyo Olympics has not been reinstated, despite the fact a rider who failed a dope test had unintentionally ingested cocaine in a teabag taken from her hotel.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that Nicole Walker’s team results at the 2019 Pan Am Games remain disqualified, meaning the team loses its fourth place, and its place at the Tokyo Games.
H&H has reported on the case of Nicole, who tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, in a sample taken on 7 August at the games, and was provisionally suspended by the FEI. In December that year, in a PanAm Sports disciplinary hearing, Nicole’s results from the team competition were disqualified, dropping the team’s place to seventh.

Equestrian: CAS exonerates Canadian rider, team still out of Olympics By Syndicated Content

(Reuters) â Canadaâs show-jumping team remain disqualified from the Tokyo Olympics despite the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Tuesday clearing a rider of intentionally doping.
CAS, which in January rejected Nicole Walkerâs appeal against a doping violation, wrote in its reasoned ruling that she inadvertently ingested cocaine metabolite by drinking coca tea while at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru.
âWhile I appreciate the personal vindication, that is not as important to me as the team being able to compete,â Walker, 27, said in a news release issued by her team on Tuesday.
Sun misses Chinese National Championships but could still compete at Olympics Sunday, 2 May 2021
Chinese swimmer Sun Yang could still compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, despite being left off the entry list for Chinese National Championships.
It had been reported that Sun, who is facing a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing later this month in a long-running doping saga, would return to the pool at the event.
It now appears Sun will not, but the
South China Morning Post, citing a Chinese Swimming Association statement, reports that he could compete at an alternative competition in June to try and achieve qualification.
