“At the moment, although Ilyinykh sent an appeal, we did not receive it,” Sport-Express quotes the CAS press service.

The 2012 Olympic volleyball champion has announced that he has filed an appeal with the CAS against a two-year ban for an anti-doping rule violation.

Recall that the volleyball player ended his career in 2021 and took the post of sports director of the Belogorye club.

Ilinykh is suspended from January 13, 2023 to January 12, 2025.

Earlier, the International Volleyball Federation refused to comment on the disqualification of the Ilyins.
