Your firm represents Rufus Wayne Cowtipper of West Buford, Kentucky, an Olympic-level weight lifter.Rufus Wayne has been training hard for the quickly approaching summer Olympics (just go with me here). Rufus Wayne intends to compete in the 105 kg weight class and he's a medal hopeful.He can clean and jerk like nobody's business.

However, at a preliminary weightlifting competition put on by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), one of Cowtipper's urine samples tested positive for excessive levels of testosterone.The IWF runs their testing through the Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS) and, per their report, only one of Rufus Wayne's samples tested positive (multiple samples are taken when someone is tested). However, per the IWF's ruling, Rufus Wayne will be suspended from competition for two years.This suspension will destroy his ability to compete in the upcoming Olympic games.

Thankfully, Rufus Wayne has your firm on retainer. Even more thankfully, your firm hired you - a highly educated paralegal who conveniently took a class at the University of Cincinnati on Sports & Entertainment Law. Rufus Wayne has asked what needs to be done to bring his case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Your attorney has thus come to you and asked that you draft a letter (to be sent under the letterhead of your attorney) to Mr. Cowtipper outlining the hearing process before the CAS. Please do the following:

2. Review Rules 38 through 46 (noted as R38 through R46) of the Code of Sports-related Arbitration
4. Put the procedure outlined in those rules into a client-facing letter outlining the arbitration process before CAS.
   1. Understand that Rufus Wayne is real strong, but not real bright, so make sure you don't use too much legal mumbo-jumbo in your letter.
