Hannes Snellman’s Partner Markus Manninen will be acting as an arbitrator for the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) Anti-Doping Division in Milan. The temporary Anti-Doping Division will decide on anti-doping cases during the Games.

Markus regularly represents Finnish and foreign corporations in both domestic and international ad hoc arbitrations and in arbitrations administered by various institutional rules. In addition, he frequently serves as an arbitrator in commercial disputes. Markus has also previously served in the Anti-Doping Division at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games and the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games.

CAS will also be opening an Ad hoc Division for the Olympic Winter Games 2026, which will settle sports-related disputes for the Games. CAS is an independent organisation that resolves sports disputes worldwide.
