Skeleton athlete Kim Hardy has decided not to proceed with an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The AOC acted on a formal complaint from Hardy a member of the “Shadow Team” for Torino 2006. We have always supported the notion that all athletes in contention for an Olympic spot must be given a fair go.
The AOC is committed against any form of discrimination under its constitution, ethical behaviour by-law and the Olympic Charter.
We thank all seven athletes who participated in the selection races in Lake Placid and wish the four athletes selected - Michelle Steele, Emma Lincoln-Smith, Melissa Hoar and Bindee Johnston - the best of luck in the upcoming World Cup races and in their quest to qualify for the 2006 Australian Olympic Team.
