CAS look favourably on Ward’s appeal, but is it too late?
“As far as I’ve seen over the years — and I have attended many of those championships, Olympics, qualifiers and all sorts of tournaments — and I’m not just saying it because it’s Joe Ward, but it was a very bad decision,” IABA President, Tommy Murphy, insisted at the time.
“If it had been anybody else I’d say the same. It was a terrible decision.”
