The Russian doping scandal will return to sport's highest court in November when the nation faces a four-year ban of its flag, anthem and colours from Olympic Games and world championships.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Tuesday its judging panel will hear evidence on Nov. 2-5 in the latest case examining allegations of state-backed doping and covering up evidence.
Russian teams and athletes would be stripped of their identity by the WADA sanctions proposal and forced to compete as neutrals at major events such as the Tokyo Olympics and 2022 Beijing Winter Games. WADA's request for the CAS hearing to be held in publicly open court was denied because all parties involved needed to give consent.
