Maria Sharapova's legal team has filed her appeal of her two-year suspension for doping and have requested for it to be expedited, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced.
“Ms. Sharapova submits that the period of ineligibility should be eliminated, or in the alternative, reduced,” the CAS statement said.
A decision is expected to be made by July 18. If the suspension is eliminated or greatly reduced, Sharapova could compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August.
