CAS temporarily lifts Queiroz ban, clears him to work
before appeal verdict
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has temporarily lifted a
suspension imposed on Carlos Queiroz, clearing the former Portugal
coach to work before the outcome of his appeal in an anti-doping
case.
The court says it granted Queiroz's request to freeze a
six-month ban imposed by Portugal's anti-doping agency, which ruled
this month that he disrupted tests being conducted on his World Cup
squad in May before they travelled to South Africa.
The suspension prevented him from working in Portugal but FIFA
did not extend it worldwide.
Portugal's football federation also gave Queiroz a one-month ban
for misconduct, then fired him following poor results.
CAS says Queiroz's appeal could be heard in mid-November.
