A widely anticipated decision on controversial new international gender regulations has been delayed by a month, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has revealed, with all parties agreeing to postpone the court’s ruling until the end of April. “The CAS had initially announced that the final decision would be communicated on March 26… the parties have filed additional submissions and materials and agreed to postpone the issuance of the CAS award until the end of April 2019. No specific date has been set yet.”
