    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”).
