.. kinda sounds like "i know i am on a diet, but will just eat one last cake"?....(We are all going to get booted out of this thread to PI.)
I believe (from what is written at this time) that they (S/B and team) decided not to apply to CAS court at all, for a reason which is most likely has to do with how booked up the CAS court is right now with other 39 athletes' cases already in process + few other relevant issues. The other court (FSCS) is probably less booked up and probably (in their estimate) can process their case quicker.I guess the other CAS appeal didn't go well for the Russians, the verdict on those cases are due on Tuesday or Thursday.
CAS court (or its fairness, at this point) is not a concern: The Russian side who has open cases with CAS court, actually reported that proceedings and hearings went well and they were given a fair chance to present their cases, and the questions from the panel were to the point and reasonable.

- It was a long messy list of 600 to 700+, athletes, coaches, officials (don't remember now exact number)I read that the Russian Olympic committee gave the IOC a long list of potential Olympic team members back in summer 2017. It contained hundreds of names (for example, Lipnitskaya was on it). So, the IOC had months to screen each athlete. Sure, the final team was picked only recently, but the IOC knew the candidates already. No "last minute" excuse.
- then it got reduced to 500 by the Russian side
- then IOC gave preliminary approval to 369 (excluding 111 athletes and coaches/officials, and Bukin, Stolbova, Ahn, etc, are part of the "excluded" list).
- of that list of approved/invited, now there remains 169 athletes and 171 official/coach = 340 total.
- now the "quiet fuss" is "what did Russian side do with 29 other "approved people".... (and some suspect "internal games" or dumb errors).
