- Joining the procedures
In July 2009 the International Cycling Union (UCI) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Spanish cyclist M. after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Erythropoietin (EPO).
On 30 April 2010 the RFEC decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete including a fine. Hereafter in June 2010 both the Athlete and the UCI appealed the RFEC decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
In this partial award CAS assessed different issues raised by the parties. Thereupon the President of the Appeals Arbitration Division decides on 14 September 2010:
1.) The request to intervene in the procedure TAS 2010/A/2141 filed by the UCI is accepted.
2.) The procedures TAS 2010/A/2141 and TAS 2010/A/2142 are consolidated before a single arbitration panel.
3.) The manner of appointment of the two co-arbitrators will be determined according to the agreement between the parties
within a time period later to be decided by the CAS Court Office. Failing in this agreement within the time limit, the co-arbitrators will be appointed by the President of the Appeals Arbitration or his deputy.
4.) The President of the Arbitral Panel shall be appointed by the President of the Appeals Arbitration Division or his deputy.
5.) The time limit for the appeals remain suspended until further notice from the CAS Court Office.
6.) This decision is without costs.
