  • 3031 Katusha Management SA V
    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2012/A/3031 Katusha Management SA v. Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), award of 2 May 2013 (operative part of 15 February 2013) Panel: Prof. Luigi Fumagalli (Italy), President; Mr Luc Argand (Switzerland); Mr Michele Bernasconi (Switzerland) Cycling Refusal of registration according to the UCI Licensing Regulations Deviation, by special agreement, from the Panel’s full power of review Full power of review and review of evidently and grossly disproportionate sanctions Purpose of Article 2.15.011 of the UCI Cycling Regulations Grossly disproportionate character of a sanction 1. The question of the possibility for the parties to deviate, by special agreement, from the general rule of Article R57 of the CAS Cod needs to be considered in a broader context, taking in mind the nature and function of the CAS and those mandatory rules that may limit the power of an association to limit access to justice. The CAS jurisdiction cannot be imposed to the detriment of an athlete’s fundamental rights. In other words, an athlete basically cannot be precluded from obtaining in CAS arbitration at least the same level of protection of his/her substantive rights that he or she could obtain before a State court. In conclusion, the unrestricted scope of review of the CAS Panel as provided under Article R57 of the CAS Code may be validly limited to the same standard of review as the standard provided by State court proceedings. In Switzerland, this would mean that a review of a cassatory nature (“nature cassatoire”) as provided at Article 75 CC would be accepted.

Chris Froome (Team Ineos) o tuto výsadu zcela jistě nestál.

  • If You're Lucky Enough to Be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St
    ICA Theme Profile If You're Lucky Enough to be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Created by: Richard Mullins Working intensity: moderate to very hard Length: 50 minutes Concept Behind the Profile Ireland has a population of 5 million people, but 70 million people call it home. We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype. All one has to do is look at any tourist T-shirt! Let’s think beyond these stereotypes; Ireland has thrown herself into the world arena many times over the last few years (and before that) in the areas of dance, film, music, economics, and politics. These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.
