Martina makes case to win back Olympic 200 medal
17.01.2009 World
AP reports that world class sprinter Churandy Martina made his case to be reinstated as the Olympic 200 meters silver medalist to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday.
The team argued that a United States protest against Martina was filed too late under rules set by the International Association of Athletics Federations. Martina appeared at the daylong hearing to give evidence before arbitrator Luigi Fumagalli, along with officials from the IAAF and the U.S. Olympic Committee. CAS said Thursday that a ruling is not expected before the end of January.
