Hamilton's Athens gold upheld
BBC SPORT | Banned Hamilton keeps Athens gold
Tyler Hamilton can keep his 2004 Olympic gold medal, after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled today that the Russian Olympic Committee and Viatcheslav Ekimov have “no standing to file an appeal with CAS” because Ekimov is not “the athlete who is the subject of the decision being appeled from” or the IOC, the UCI, or WADA.
Ekimov was 2nd in the Athens Olympic time trial.
