    MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015 SPORTS England dump hosts Canada Canadians collapse in tears VANCOUVER: England scored twice in three first-half minutes then held on to beat hosts Canada 2-1 on Saturday and book a spot in the Women’s World Cup semi-finals against Japan. The hosts had been hoping to secure the semi-final spot against the defending champions on Canada Day, July 1, in Edmonton but instead it was England who moved into the last four of a World Cup for the first time. England coach Mark Sampson paid tribute to the opposi- tion and fans. “I have never been in a stadium as loud, as pas- sionate for their team as that was, they couldn’t have pushed us any further we had to really, really dig deep today to get the result we wanted,” he told reporters. “They’ve shown a desire I have never seen in an England team before to hang on in there and get us through to the next round.” Without a men’s or women’s World Cup title since 1966, and exasperated by another failure at the men’s U21 European Championships, the “Lionesses” have become the toast of England. “We’re history makers again, only the third England team to get to a semi-final, we have now joined that 1966 and 1990 club, very, very proud of the whole group,” beamed Sampson.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS ad hoc Division (OG Rio) 16/028 Behdad Salimi & National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NOCIRI) v. International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), award of 21 August 2016 Panel: Mrs Carol Roberts (Canada), President; Mrs Margarita Echeverria (Costa Rica); Mr Mohammed Abdel Raouf (Egypt) Weightlifting Decision of the Jury overturning a decision of the referees Field of play decision CAS jurisprudence has consistently reaffirmed that CAS arbitrators do not overturn the decisions made on the playing field by judges, referees, umpires or other officials charged with applying the rules of the game unless there is some evidence, which generally must be direct evidence that the rule was applied in arbitrarily or in bad faith. CAS arbitrators are not specifically trained in the rules of any or all sports and do not have the advantage of being present to observe the events. It would be unfair to a decision‐maker as well as to athletes to interfere with decisions made by match officials, who are the technical experts, in these circumstances. Other practical reasons for the “field of play” doctrine include the prevention of constant interruptions of the game by appeals to a judge or an arbitrator. 1 PARTIES 1. The First Applicant is an athlete from Iran in the sport of weightlifting (the “Athlete”). 2. The Second Applicant is the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (“NOCIRI”). 3. The Respondent is the International Weightlifting Federation (the “IWF”). 4. The first interested party is the International Olympic Committee (the “IOC”).
