But would they be able to appeal to a human rights court? I mean, I don't know the legalities but a federation like Rusfed would surely be able to try it because it would be without any. proof. whatsoever of involvement. As I said, the athlete can't claim that small but vital point. Look how coaches etc who know about sex abuse cases are usually let completely off the hook unless they are stupid enough to go on social media.Just read the post above. This is not about legal rights but athletes and coaches abiding by wada's Code.
And that's why they are suggesting they would like stricter rules. If the rules pass, then those would be the rules to follow.
