"UCI's rules are robust" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So news just coming out that someone, presumably Bora-Hansgrohe, have appealed Sagan's disqualification to the Court of Arbitration in Sport (aka CAS).
I'm not sure what would happen if they ruled in Sagan's favour. But presumably the UCI's rules are robust enough to prevent CAS over-ruling them.
The UCI were at pains to state that the disqualification was pursuant to a rule that gave them discretion. Unless Sagan can show that that discretion was exercised in an unlawful manner, it is impossible successfully to appeal a decision made through discretion. He would have to show bias or prejudice or some procedural irregularity. I suppose his best bet might be 'want of natural justice" insofar as they did not hear his take.
