What does CAS do?
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is an independent body created to adjudicate legal disputes in sport worldwide. Its job is to settle all legal disputes related to sports. Established in 1984, the international body works to settle disputes related to sports through arbitration. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland and its courts are located in New York City, Sydney and Lausanne. Temporary courts are also set up in current Olympic host cities.
The weight was just 100 grams more
India’s hopes in the Olympics were dashed when Vinesh Phogat was declared disqualified. Her weight was found to be about 100 grams more in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling category. Vinesh had a chance to win the gold medal, but she was declared disqualified a few hours before the final match due to being overweight. In such a situation, due to the rule, she missed the medal even after winning the semi-finals.
