Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified from the Winter Olympics after his helmet, featuring images of people killed in the conflict with Russia, was deemed to violate rules against making statements in the field of play.
Heraskevych has launched an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that his exclusion is disproportionate, unsupported by any technical or safety violation, and causes him irreparable sporting harm.
