“A new hearing will take place during the week of 24-28 May 2021,” CAS said in a statement.
Switzerland’s federal supreme court overturned the ban on the 29-year-old, who was accused of destroying a blood vial with a hammer when collectors visited his home in September 2018, over alleged bias towards the triple Olympic champion.
The new hearing takes place just two months before the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics are held.
CAS made a dog’s dinner of Sun Yang case – and it might bite them
Sun, the 1,500m freestyle world record-holder, had initially been suspended in February 2020.
