Court of Arbitration for Sport

The Court of Arbitration for Sport is an international, independent arbitration body that settles sports-related disputes and issues binding awards, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. It is best known for administering CAS arbitration under the CAS Code, handling appeals and disputes involving athletes, federations, sponsors, and organizers, and issuing influential rulings on eligibility, doping, and governance. It remains relevant in current news as sports organizations and athletes increasingly rely on its expedited and specialized dispute resolution to resolve high-profile cases and shape policy in doping, eligibility, and governance debates.
