The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is preparing to open two temporary offices on the site of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

The first, the CAS Ad Hoc Division, will resolve any legal disputes that arise during the Games. This temporary tribunal has operated at every edition of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games since 1996, as well as at other major sporting events such as the Commonwealth Games, the UEFA European Football Championships, the AFC Asian Cup, the FIFA World Cup and the Asian Games. The CAS ad hoc Division will provide participants in the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games with free access to dispute resolution services that are conducted within a timeframe consistent with the competition schedule. The CAS Ad hoc Division for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games will be composed as follows: President: Mr Michael Lenard (USA) Co-President: Ms Corinne Schmidhauser (Switzerland)

The second temporary office, the CAS Anti-Doping Division, will be in charge of doping-related matters arising during the Games as a first-instance authority. This structure, in operation for the second time after its inauguration at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, will handle potential doping cases referred to it in accordance with the IOC Anti-doping Rules. The procedural rules for the CAS Anti-doping Division are available on the CAS website: http://www.tas-cas.org/en/arbitration/anti-doping-division.html The CAS Anti-Doping Division for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games will be composed as follows: President: Judge Ivo Eusebio (Switzerland) Deputy President: Ms Tjasa Andrée-Prosenc (Slovenia).

The offices will be headed by the CAS Secretary General, Mr Matthieu Reeb. Both offices are located at the Tower Condomium at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre and will be operational from 30 January 2018 until 25 February 2018.

Let us hope the 2 offices will be out of work!
