(Reuters) - World boxing body IBA could go to the Swiss supreme court if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne rejects its appeal against Olympic exclusion, president Umar Kremlev said on Thursday.

The CAS, sport's highest court, was scheduled to hear the appeal on Thursday with a ruling unlikely before next year.
