The Russia Athletics Federation has appeared before the Court of Arbitration for Sport with a new claim against sanctions imposed by the world athletics organization. This claim is aimed at restoring the ability of Russian athletes to participate in international competitions. The Federation emphasizes that the sanctions are unjust. According to preliminary information, the sanctions have been in place since 2015 and are related to the monitoring of athletes. Russia wants to be more active in communication with world athletics. This situation could further exacerbate the political issues arising in the sports sector.
