Disgraced running coach Alberto Salazar has been embroiled in a doping scandal, but he's not giving up yet. On Monday, November 11, 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that Salazar had lodged an appeal against a four-year ban for doping offences.
Salazar's doping offences include trafficking testosterone, tampering with the doping control process, and administering illicit infusions of the fat-burning substance, L-carnitine. He denies any wrongdoing.
Salazar's appeal is not the only one. Jeffrey Brown, a Texas endocrinologist who treated many of Salazar's athletes at Nike's Oregon Project training hub in Portland, has also appealed against his suspension.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said two arbitration procedures had been opened and both men had requested more time to prepare their case. "At this stage, it appears that the hearings in these two matters are unlikely to take place before March 2020," said the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
