The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed an appeal by Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych regarding his disqualification from the Milano Cortina Olympics. The disqualification was due to his helmet, which depicted athletes killed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. This imagery was deemed to breach rules on political neutrality by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation jury.

The CAS ad hoc division stated that freedom of expression is guaranteed at the Olympic Games but not on the field of play. This decision followed an eight-hour hearing. Heraskevych sought reinstatement for the final two runs of the event and is considering further legal options following the ruling.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) offered Heraskevych the option to wear a black armband and display the helmet before and after the race, rather than during competition. The IOC maintains that using the helmet in competition breaches rules on political protests and slogans.

The disqualification was due to his helmet, which depicted athletes killed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

CAS, in a statement, asserted that the IOC's guidelines for athlete expression are fair and reasonable, balancing the interests of athletes to express their views with the need for undivided attention to sporting performance on the field of play.

The Ukrainian Olympic Committee and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy have expressed support for Heraskevych, who previously displayed a "No War in Ukraine" sign at the Beijing 2022 Olympics.
