3/ The Russian Football Union took UEFA and FIFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. See @antoineduval.bsky.social's excellent analysis of that here - essentially CAS sided with UEFA and FIFA's claims that they needed to protect their competitions www.boomportaal.nl/tijdschrift/...

Finally, #ImaneKhelif could also consider challenging the regulations on the basis of EU #CompetitionLaw and request an injunction from a Dutch court to suspend the regulation and allow her to compete in the Box Cup in Eindhoven.

Be prepared for a landmark case, there is a high likelihood that it will be going up to the #CJEU!
