"Certainly, the court decision was unpleasant and bad news,"
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with
journalists.
"To our regret, that decision falls on the eve of the Olympics,
so of course legal maneuvering to continue defending the rights
of our sportspeople is pretty limited in time now."
CAS, sport's highest tribunal, rejected on Thursday Russia's
appeal against a doping ban for its entire athletics team from
the Rio Olympics.
