CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) --- Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav
Heraskevych lost an appeal of his disqualification from the Milan Cortina
Olympics on Friday, yet already knew there was no pathway for him to compete in
the race.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport denied the appeal, agreeing with the
International Olympic Committee and the sliding sport's federation that
Heraskevych's plan to wear a helmet showing the faces of more than 20 Ukrainian
coaches and athletes killed since Russia invaded their country four years ago
would be in violation of Olympic rules.
