According to Inside the games, IBU Secretary General Niklas Karlsson has confirmed that the organization has been notified of the RBU's appeal to CAS.
“We reviewed the CAS decision in all details, received legal advice, WADA confirmed that our execution was correct.
I don't understand why the RBU is questioning this after the World Cup, it will not change anything, ”the functionary said.
Russian biathletes perform at the World Championships in Pokljuka under the flag of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU), without the national anthem and tricolor due to WADA sanctions against the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).
Team members are prohibited from displaying state symbols and posting them on social networks if the publications relate to the World Cup in Slovenia.
Earlier it was reported that Polkhovsky will miss the stages of the Biathlon World Cup in the Czech Republic.
