Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova could find out tomorrow whether she will be allowed to compete in the Olympic Games here after being barred because of a doping conviction.
The 24-year-old world 100 metres breaststroke champion launched a late appeal to the ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following a decision to leave her off Russia's team for Rio 2016 because of a two-year doping ban.
Her hearing against the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Swimming Federation (FINA) was heard today, CAS announced in a statement.
"A hearing took place today and was adjourned until the afternoon of 2 August 2016; the next steps for this procedurewill be decided then," CAS said in the statement.
CAS also revealed that the Russian Weightlifting Federation have officially appealed against the International Weightlifting Federation's decision to ban the whole team from Rio 2016.
A hearing is due to be held on Wednesday (August 3) and a decision announced later that day.
The 17 Russian rowers, led by Daniil Andrienko, prevented by the International Rowing Federation and the IOC from taking part at Rio 2016 have also lodged an appeal.
They have been barred due to a combination of positive drugs tests, links to the McLaren Report and being unable to prove they were tested outside Russia.
Their appeal is due to take place today
