Russian track and field files new claim with CAS over sanctions imposed by World Athletics

Russia's track and field federation filed a new claim with the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday to challenge sanctions imposed by World Athletics

World Athletics excluded all athletes from Russia and Belarus from its international events in March 2022 after Russian forces invaded Ukraine

The suspension was maintained at a council meeting in July, prompting Russian Athletics to launch a separate appeal with CAS to overturn it

The federation's new appeal targets restrictions it says infringe on the organisation's rights and prevent it fully representing Russian athletes' interests at international level
