Jamaican Bobsledder denied quota request after 'fictitious' points earned by rival
In another limitation to an athlete's ability to challenge Olympic non-selection, a Jamaican athlete has been told she lacks standing to seek a quota to compete in the two-woman Bobsleigh. The athlete was also told she would not have had her relief granted anyway because her International Federation engaged in "legitimate policy" by double counting a rivals race in qualifications standings.
The latest published decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport Ad-Hoc Division ('CAS AHD'), involved yet another application testing the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation ('IBSF') Olympic Qualification System that has thus far dominated CAS AHD casework and has stood up to every challenge.
