Triathlon
Qualification and slot allocation, licence and start-right disputes and equipment and drafting rule matters.
Triathlon spans three disciplines and several rulebooks, so qualification, penalty and equipment disputes need careful attribution of the applicable rule.
We act in World Triathlon and federation proceedings on qualification, penalties, anti-doping and race organisation matters.
