    CAS restores world records denied to British swimmers

    Four British swimmers, including triple world champion Adam Peaty, should be awarded world records they were denied in 2014 after officials failed to test them for a specific drug, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Friday.

    The swimmers – Peaty, Francesca Halsall, Jemma Lowe and Chris Walker Hebborn – have already broken their own records, but the ruling means the previous records will now be recognized by the Federation Internationale de Natation, the body that administers international swimming competitions.

    The four swimmers had won the 4×100-metre mixed medley at the European championships in Berlin in August 2014 with a time of three minutes and 44 seconds. Peaty also won the 50-metre breaststroke with a time of 26.62 seconds at the same competition. Both times were records in 2014.

    But FINA refused to recognize the records because the four had not been tested for the banned substance EPO. Although they had undergone other tests which showed no abnormalities, only a selection of samples at the event were tested for EPO before being destroyed.

    FINA rules state that “no world record shall be recognized without a negative doping test certificate for all prohibited substances or prohibited methods identified on the prohibited list for which an analytical technique is available.”

    The court of arbitration ruled that the absence of EPO tests “should not fall to the detriment of the athletes and lead to the non-recognition of the world records.”
