That's still how I read it and always have. I find it very difficult to understand how two very educated men could disagree over so many points when confronted by the evidence. The only possible way I think would be if both arbitrators had made their minds up before considering anything, and I'm certainly not buying that.The way I’ve read all of the documented facts & how CAS works means that initially the 2 our bitters (see what I did there) Get to vote. If they both vote the same, then surely this is a majority as the 3rd (president) didn’t vote.
Therefore by the same reasoning, it’s impossible to get a unanimous vote as the president only EVER votes if it’s 1-1.
Therefore EVERY decision at CAS will ALWAYS be a majority of either 2-0 (3rd vote not taken which may have made it 2-1 therefore majority)
I think this is backed up by the fact that every single contested point was a majority
ie majority is either 2-0 (3rd vote never happens) or 2-1
Its highly unlikely that an independent arbitrator would side with UEFA’s evidence of 6 hacked emails
R46 of CAS procedural rules.
"The award shall be made by a majority decision, in the absence of a majority, by the president alone"
