Overview

  • Vuskovic received a two-year suspension in 2022 for EPO doping that the CAS extended to four years in August 2024.
  • His appeal to the Swiss Federal Court was dismissed in February 2025, exhausting his domestic sports law options.
  • The June 2025 ECHR filing alleges procedural flaws in judge selection and limits on evidence access during his CAS hearing.
  • Hamburger SV has maintained a performance-based contract with Vuskovic through 2026 despite his ongoing ban.
  • Legal experts say his prospects at the ECHR are slim given the CAS’s thorough review and possible missed appeal deadlines, and any ruling could take years.
