Cavaliero & Cambreleng has analysed, in Jurisportiva by Fellous Avocats, a French media platform dedicated to sport and law, the award CAS OG 26/09 rendered by the ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
The article, authored by Francis Berney, Marc Cavaliero and Jaime Cambreleng, examines the regulatory framework governing athlete expression under Rule 40.2 of the Olympic Charter and the IOC Guidelines on Athlete Expression, in the context of the exclusion of Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych.
The analysis addresses in particular:
- The scope of permissible expression within the field of play.
- The distinction between disciplinary sanctions and preventive measures applied in this matter.
- The application of the principle of proportionality in this specific context.
