Ramadan Sowi’s Lawyer Responds to CAS Appeal

Ramadan Sowi’s ‍lawyer, Hani Zahran, has confirmed that he has received a letter from the International Court of Sports (CAS) ‍regarding the decision of the Egyptian body’s hearing committee on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s ⁢appeal.

Zahran⁣ stated that he expected a one-party ⁣appeal against the hearing committee’s decision and has prepared⁤ all necessary legal matters to address it. This appeal is a continuation of the litigation process against Egyptian or international organizations.

The Egyptian Anti-Doping Agency⁢ initially issued a 4-year suspension, but the player was ⁤given the right to appeal the decision by resorting⁢ to the hearing committee.‌ The suspension has since been lifted.

The Fate of Ramadan Sowi’s Participation

Sowi​ has the right ⁣to⁣ participate in​ matches until‌ the final ​decision of the Court of International Affairs (CAS). The case will take some time to decide, but Zahran is ready with the necessary documents.

Zahran will defend⁣ the ​ruling issued in favor of⁢ Ramadan Sowi, as the international body is appealing against the “acquittal.” ⁣He will rely on the reasons issued by the hearing committee on behalf of the player.

Although​ there is an official ‍appeal‌ against Ramadan Sowi and the⁤ Egyptian organization, in reality, the player who appealed against ⁣him ⁣has ⁤no⁣ cooperation with the ‍Egyptian organization in judicial matters.

Zahran noted that similar cases are ⁣currently being studied, and he is waiting for the international body to submit a memorandum ‌explaining the reasons for the appeal against Ramadan Sowi’s acquittal.

The Sports Court must first⁢ accept​ the appeal and declare the judgment issued‍ in favor of Ramadan Sowi null and‍ void before starting the litigation process to‌ decide the matter.
