The Court of Arbitration for Sport will hold hearings next month in the doping cases of 12 Russian track and field athletes hoping to compete at the Olympics, ABC news reports.
Verdicts are expected a few weeks later, CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb told The Associated Press on Monday.
The highest court in sports took over the cases because Russia's track and field federation was suspended by the IAAF in November after allegations of state-sponsored doping made by a World Anti-Doping Agency panel.
