Three Brazilian track and field athletes won a court ruling to compete in Paris despite Brazil's substandard anti-doping measures. They were initially blocked for not meeting no-notice doping controls.
CAS upheld the athletes' appeal based on 'truly exceptional circumstances' exemption in World Athletics rules, allowing them to participate in the Paris Olympics.
Four countries including Brazil were put on special anti-doping measures by AIU. Non-elite athletes were required to provide three no-notice samples in training to compete in Paris.
AIU's policy aimed to protect Olympics from unforeseen performances due to rapidly rising athletes or unpredictable results, especially in countries like Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Portugal.
