PARIS (Sputnik) – The European Court of Human Rights is ready to consider a claim of the Russian Paralympians, banned from the upcoming games in Rio, should they file it, the court said in a statement Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected the Russian Paralympic Committee’s (RPC) appeal against its ban from the upcoming Rio Olympics. Senator Tatiana Lebedeva suggested that Moscow could file a lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights.
“All properly submitted claims are examined by the court which will… examine whether the claim meets the conditions of admissibility defined by the European Convention on Human Rights before it may be considered substantially,” the court told RIA Novosti.
