It does so in relation to a case of doping involving three members of the Türkiye team, accusations that have already been proven by the International Weightlifting Federation. In fact, a sanction was issued to these weightlifters on 22 July.

The problem is that the sanction is merely financial, i.e. a fine that does not exclude them from participating in Paris despite the fact that the unsporting practice of doping has been proven.

So the Spanish player, 10th in Rio and Tokio, has lodged an appeal against the Turkish Federation's decision with the ADC, appealing to the IWF's own anti-doping rules and the fact that this was the case during the previous qualifiers. If this petition goes ahead, Sánchez López could participate in the Games.

Türkiye has had a weightlifter provisionally suspended for a doping violation for the third time in three months, and has become the fourth nation liable to lose some or all of its quota places for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

These are intense days for CAS, which in fact has a specific office (the so-called Ad Hoc Division) in Paris to resolve, sometimes on the same day, the questions that arise, related to licences, registrations, doping or other rules.

For example, Swiss athlete Dany Brand has asked the Ad Hoc Division to allow him to compete in the men's 400m hurdles after French athlete Ludvy Vaillant, who took part in two Olympic Games (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020). withdrew due to injury, without being replaced by another French athlete. Brand believes he should be given the quota place as the next eligible athlete and the resolution will have to be immediate.

And the French athlete Adrien Coulibaly wants to participate in the 4x400 relay, but the French National Olympic and Sports Committee has not entered him. He has lodged an appeal against this decision of the French body, which is now before the CAS, in a decision that is also expected to be resolved immediately.
