I don't see anything in the press release about this being heard in U.S. courts. It's just a hearing panel that was appointed by the USOC.

If the IOC doesn't have a problem with the ISAF rules, it sounds to me like the USOC is the one that is out of sync here and needs to change something in its bylaws.

And objectivity is rather suspect when the USOC appoints the panel to review USOC's own rules.

Have there actually been court trials regarding sailing protests? Do you have links to them?
