Swiss court said Sun Yang's appeal had not yet been accepted or there was a possibility of dismissal

Recently, domestic media reported that the Swiss Federal Court had formally accepted Sun Yang's appeal. The reporter asked the Swiss Federal Court for confirmation on this on the 14th. The press officer of the Swiss Federal Court said that the Swiss Federal Court had received Sun Yang's appeal and established a file, but "did not make any decision on the case." This also means that the Swiss Federal Court may dismiss the appeal.

On February 28 this year, the International Court of Arbitration for Sports announced its ruling and Sun Yang was suspended for eight years. Sun Yang can appeal the arbitration result to the Swiss Federal Court, which is also Sun Yang's last chance. However, according to regulations, the Swiss Federal Court will not consider the specific circumstances of the case when handling Sun Yang's appeal, but will mainly focus on whether the trial procedures of the case comply with the rules. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Swiss Federal Court has not yet fully resumed normal operations, and the process of Sun Yang's appeal case may continue to be delayed.
