Saudi weightlifter Mahmoud Al Hamid has applied for exceptional entry into the weightlifting competition - Al Hamid was unable to participate in the qualifiers between January and May after being suspended for a positive doping test, which was not confirmed by the second sample.

Another case is being brought by the Israel Football Association and Roy Revivo, with the aim of allowing him to take part in the national team's first match and subsequent matches. Revivo was sent off during a match against Iceland on 21 March and was suspended for two matches by UEFA. Those two match suspensions were to be during the Olympic tournament, and Israel wants to overturn that part.

From Brazil, shot putter Livia Avancini, walker Max Batista and sprinter Hygor Bezerra have asked to participate in the Games, from which the Athletics Integrity Unit excluded them as they did not meet the eligibility requirements and testing according to the anti-doping regulations, in which they were supported by the Brazilian Athletics Confederation.

And on the part of Czechia, Itka Cabelicka asks for reconsideration of her candidature to participate in the discipline of cross-country mountain biking and mountain biking in the Elite Women's category.

CAS

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has opened two temporary offices in Paris for the Olympic Games. The CAS Ad Hoc Division is a office will resolve any disputes that may arise during the Olympic Games. This temporary tribunal has been in operation at every Summer and Winter Olympic Games since Atlanta in 1996, as well as at other major sporting events.

The main function of the Ad Hoc Division, which was created solely to provide rapid justice during extraordinary events (such as the Olympic Games, held every four years, where 10,500 athletes compete simultaneously and may need this service), is to guarantee free access to high-quality dispute resolution services.

The main function of this office is to ensure free access to high quality dispute resolution services. These services are provided within a timeframe that coincides with the competition schedule, as the division can issue decisions within 24 hours in urgent cases.

The second temporary office is for the CAS Anti-Doping Division. This structure was created for Rio 2016 and it will handle all doping cases referred by the International Testing Authority in accordance with the International Olympic Committee. From 16 July to 11 August, the offices will be located at the Paris Courthouse.
