It makes sense for BC to fund an appeal to CAS for a high profile athlete if there's a chance of clearing his or her name, especially right before a major sporting event that they're a medal hopeful for.
It's not a great situation they have right now, with a cloud of suspicion hanging over her head in Rio, but worse might be losing a gold medal contender to a doping scandal, because then that suspicion could spread to other athletes.
