ITF v Puerta (ITF Disciplinary Panel, CAS)

Appeared for the player in the doping disciplinary proceedings brought by the ITF following the player’s testing positive after the French Open Final in 2005.  Drafted the appeal brief to CAS but was unable to appear.  On the basis of the player’s submissions, CAS applied the proportionality principle to disapply the normal WADA measure, and reduced the player’s ban from 8 years to two.
