The Regulations at stake state that any athlete receiving a doping sanction of greater than six sanction months is barred from competing in the next Olympic Games and Olympic Winter Games following the expiration of the doping sanction. This is also known as the Rule 45 of the Olympic Charter - or the Osaka/6 month rule. A hearing is scheduled for 17 August 2011 and a final decision in this matter is likely to be issued at the end of September 2011. As requested by the parties, the arbitration procedure will remain confidential with the exception of the Final Award which will be published by the CAS at the end of the procedure procedure.
