CLEAN : Olympics: CAS rejects Russia appeal bars athletes from Rio (2)

The transcript discusses the new rules adopted by the International Athletics Federation on June 17, 2016, which affect athletes from suspended National Federations, making them ineligible for competitions under IWF rules, including the Olympics, unless specific criteria are met. This particularly impacts Russian athletes, as the Russian Olympic Committee cannot nominate them unless they meet these criteria. The transcript also highlights that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was not involved in the arbitrations, and thus, the jurisdiction to decide on the acceptance of nominations by the Russian Olympic Committee lies outside the scope of the discussed rules.

What is the main focus of the new rules adopted by the International Athletics Federation on 17 June 2016?

• To change the location of the Olympic Games.

• To make athletes from suspended National Federations ineligible for competitions.

• To suspend all National Federations.

• To allow all athletes to compete freely.

Under what condition can athletes from a suspended National Federation compete in the Olympic Games?

• If they are nominated by their National Federation.

• If they are approved by the International Olympic Committee.

• If they satisfy specific criteria set by the IWF.

• If they have competed in previous Olympic Games.

What is the consequence of the new rules for the Russian Olympic Committee?

• They must nominate athletes from other countries.

• They can nominate any athlete they choose.

• They cannot nominate any athletes for the Olympic Games.

• They can only nominate athletes who meet specific criteria.

Why does the cast have no jurisdiction over the IOC's decision regarding Russian athletes?

• Because the IOC was not a party to the arbitrations.

• Because the IOC has already made a decision.

• Because the Russian Olympic Committee did not appeal.

• Because the cast does not deal with Olympic matters.

What is the role of the International Olympic Committee in the context of the new rules?

• To organize the Olympic Games in Rio.

• To enforce the new rules on all athletes.

• To decide on the eligibility of athletes from suspended federations.
