The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has lifted the ban that prevented Russian ice hockey teams from competing internationally, according to a report from DPA on Friday. The ruling allows Russian national and club teams to return to international tournaments sanctioned by governing bodies. The ban had been imposed as part of wider sanctions linked to state-sponsored doping allegations.
