Sport's top court on Monday cancelled the suspension of the Iranian judo federation, imposed after it ordered judoka Saeid Mollaei not to fight against an Israeli. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said it was referring the case back to the International Judo Federation which imposed the ban in October 2019. In the meantime, the ruling leaves Iranian judokas free to take part in the rearranged Tokyo Olympics this year. The Iranian federation hailed a "great victory" and said it hoped the decsion would lead to an "improvement" in relations with the International Judo Federation. Mollaei, a former world champion, now competes for Mongolia. cfe-gj/jc
