27.07.2021
Case Number: 4A_618/2020 (2 June 2021)
In a recently published French-language decision, the Swiss Supreme Court decided that a CAS award upholding the prohibition on Blake Leeper, an athlete with amputated legs, from competing with prostheses in competitions against "able-bodied athletes" was not contrary to public policy, in particular, the prohibition on discrimination and human dignity.
