Second appeal to CAS by Dayana Yastremska against decision to not lift Provisional Suspension dismissed

PRESS RELEASE

7 May 2021

Following a decision by the Chair of the Independent Tribunal to deny a second application to lift the provisional suspension imposed on her on 7 January 2021 under Article 8.3.1(c) of the 2020 Tennis Anti-Doping Programme, Dayana Yastremska (UKR) appealed that decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The CAS has dismissed that appeal. Ms. Yastremska therefore remains ineligible to compete, pending the final resolution of her case.
