On 6 March 2006, the CAS confirmed the assignment of this case to its Appeals Arbitration Division. The parties have been invited by the CAS to file their positions and to appoint their arbitrators. Once the appellants have produced their appeal brief, the FEI will have 20 days to provide its answer to the CAS.
