俄就田徑隊禁賽令提起的上訴被駁回
Russia has lost its appeal against a ban on its athletics team from appearing at next month’s Olympic Games, paving the way for a wider ban against all Russian sportspeople from competing in Rio de Janeiro.
俄羅斯針對其田徑隊被禁止參加下月奧運會提起的上訴遭到駁回，這爲全面禁止所有俄羅斯運動員在里約熱內盧參賽鋪平了道路。
The International Association of Athletics Federations in June barred Russia’s track and field athletes from competing at the games, after an investigation revealed systematic doping violations.
國際田徑聯合會(IAAF)在6月份禁止俄羅斯田徑運動員參加奧運會，此前進行的一項調查發現了俄羅斯存在系統化的興奮劑違規行爲。
Yesterday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the final judge in global sports disputes, dismissed the claims of 68 athletes and the Russian Olympic Committee, which had appealed the ban. They had questioned the “validity, enforceability and scope” of the ruling, but the expulsion was unanimously upheld.
昨日，全球體育糾紛的最終審裁機構——國際體育仲裁庭(Court of Arbitration for Sport)駁回了針對上述禁賽令提起上訴的68名運動員以及俄羅斯奧委會的主張。上訴人質疑了國際田聯裁決的“合法性、可執行性和範圍”，但仲裁小組一致維持該禁賽令。
The decision could free the International Olympic Committee, which governs the games, to ban the entire Russian team from the games in Brazil. On Tuesday the IOC said it was exploring “legal options” for a wider ban, but said it would await the CAS ruling. The IOC is set to make a final decision next week.
國際體育仲裁庭的這一裁決可能允許奧運會的管理機構——國際奧林匹克委員會(IOC)禁止整個俄羅斯隊參加巴西奧運。國際奧委會本週二曾表示，它正在探索全面禁賽的“法律選擇”，但表示它將等待國際體育仲裁庭的裁決。國際奧委會將在下週作出最後決定。
The World Anti-Doping Agency on Monday demanded that all Russian competitors be banned from Rio 2016 after finding the country’s sports ministry “directed, controlled and oversaw” a systematic cover-up of doping by its athletes at previous competitions.
世界反興奮劑機構(WADA)週一要求禁止所有俄羅斯運動員參加2016年裏約奧運會，此前該機構發現俄羅斯體育部“導演、控制和監督”了對以往參賽運動員使用興奮劑的系統化掩蓋。
Such a move would ratchet up tensions between the west and the Kremlin, which has been furious about the doping allegations, viewing the publicity around the scandal as a US-led plot.
此舉將加劇西方和克里姆林宮之間的緊張關係，後者已經對有關興奮劑的指控火冒三丈，把圍繞這起醜聞的報道視爲美國主導的陰謀。
Vladimir Putin, Russian president, has offered to suspend all those implicated in the state-sponsored doping regime, but called on the IOC not to punish clean athletes.
俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)提出可以暫停所有與國家支持的興奮劑計劃有牽連的運動員的參賽資格，但呼籲國際奧委會不要懲罰守規矩的運動員。
The Lausanne-based court did not provide reasons for its decision, but said full grounds for the ruling would be released as soon as possible.
位於瑞士洛桑的國際體育仲裁庭沒有提供其裁決的理由，但表示，將盡快公佈完整的裁決理由。
Sebastian Coe, the British former middle-distance runner and now IAAF president, welcomed the ruling saying he was “thankful that our rules and our power to uphold our rules and the anti-doping code have been supported”.
國際田聯主席、英國前中長跑選手塞巴斯蒂安•科(Sebastian Coe)歡迎這項裁決，表示他對於“我們的規則以及我們維持規則和反興奮劑準則的力量得到支持”表示感謝。
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, told journalists yesterday that Russia regretted the court’s decision. “The subject of collective responsibility can hardly be acceptable for us,” he said.
克里姆林宮發言人德米特里•巴斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)昨日對記者表示，俄羅斯對國際體育仲裁庭的裁決表示遺憾。“集體負責的說法對我們來說是很難接受的，”他說。
“We’re talking about athletes who were preparing for the Olympics and have nothing to do with doping, nothing to do with any accusations and suspicions. Anti-doping agencies have regularly collected their doping tests.”
“我們說的是那些備戰奧運會、與興奮劑以及任何指控和懷疑毫無關聯的運動員。反興奮劑機構在藥檢中定期收集他們的藥檢。”
He said Russia would not boycott the Olympics in response.
他說，俄羅斯不會以抵制奧運會作爲迴應。
