Overview
- The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne stated it is without jurisdiction and issued no ruling on Rebecca Passler’s emergency appeal.
- Nado Italia had imposed a provisional suspension after a positive test for letrozole, excluding the Italian biathlete from the Milano-Cortina Olympics.
- CAS said she petitioned the tribunal before exhausting national remedies, directing any challenge to Nado Italia’s Commissione Nazionale Antidoping di Appello (NADAB).
- The suspension remains in force after the failed bid for urgent relief, leaving her out of competition unless overturned domestically.
- During the hearing, Passler reportedly argued the result stemmed from involuntary cross‑contamination and asked for annulment for lack of intent and negligence.
