The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) resolves global sports disputes, including high-profile cases like Manchester City's overturned European ban in July 2020. CAS recently reviewed the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final after CAF overturned Senegal's loss to Morocco, with Senegal planning to appeal. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych appealed an IOC ban over a helmet honoring fallen athletes, but CAS dismissed his case during an emergency hearing.

Similarly, Russia's figure skating team lost a 2022 Winter Olympics gold medal after Kamila Valieva's doping ban; CAS upheld the decision in July 2024. US gymnast Jordan Chiles may regain her 2024 Paris Olympics bronze medal as CAS reviews her timely score appeal. CAS operates on-site at major events like the Olympics for rapid dispute resolution, though complex cases can take years.

An independent panel is currently reviewing Manchester City's case, with a hearing scheduled for October, though the club cannot appeal further to CAS once a final ruling is issued.
