[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds even more botched than expected.  The US team wasn't notified because of bad email addresses, FIG couldn't explain how it handled inquiries, and CAS had no evidence of the official time for filing the inquiry because it was kept by a sponsor, OMEGA (and that data exists, but no one had it at the hearing).  Totally ridiculous.

Arbitration results usually hold up on challenge at a court, but this may certainly be an exception.

DoJ should investigate. International sporting bodies just love it when the DoJ decides to care about their corruption[/quote]
It also seriously calls into question the statements from CAS to the press that the US was given the opportunity to object to arbitrators based on the conflicts of interest, but didn't do so.  It sounds like those emails were going to a bad email address.  So the US never had an opportunity after all.  Super fishy, as they must be aware of the email issue.[/quote]

Wouldn't you call to say "watch out for an email" over something like this?[/quote]
In most legal proceedings there isn't usually a phone call, as that could be considered inappropriate ex parte contact, but there is usually a formal process for providing notice.  And CAS would expect the US attorneys to enter an appearance, identifying them as the ones who should receive notices.[/quote]

Could they ask for immediate confirmation of receipt? [/quote]
It's arbitration so the required process should in an agreement.

Immediate confirmation of receipt isn't a standard term in such proceedings, so that would be unusual.[/quote]

I would not be surprised if USOC never updated their e-mail address for service. If so, that's on the US.[/quote]
CAS also hears doping cases, so I'd be surprised if it didn't have updated info for US officials.[/quote]
