Russia may appeal IAAF ban to international sports court

VIENNA (Reuters) - Russia may appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the decision by athletics' world governing body to uphold a doping ban on its track and field team, Russian athletics official Mikhail Butov told Reuters on Friday.

"We need to analyse the document. If there is a basis to do so, we will go there," Butov said when asked if Russia would take the case to the CAS, a Swiss-based organisation that settles international sporting disputes.
