It is often stated that the Union Flag should only be described as the Union Jack when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From early in its life the Admiralty itself frequently referred to the flag as the Union Jack, whatever its use, and in 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that Their Lordships had decided that either name could be used officially. Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that “the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag”.

yaco said:Froome will run to CAS as soon as any race organiser stops him starting a race - And he will probably win the case - The only possible way Froome could be banned by the organisers is if they can't guarantee his safety, which is some chance in the TDF.

CAS actually made interesting precedent for the Olympics in case of Russians. IOC has a rule they can decline athletes from Olympics. CAS couldn't go around that although earlier they ruled no doping violation for same athletes.
I doubt CAS would be able to legally rule against race organizers if they ban Froome.

I posted the excerpt from UCI regulations which allows under certain circumstances the organizers to ban a rider from participating. The organizers also have rules that state the same thing. Time to show some balls and do it. Interesting is that for Tour De France the dispute shall be placed before the Chambre Arbitrale du Sport which is a French organization, I can imagine that if Prudhomme really wants Froome banned the Chambre Arbitrale will not rule against it.

Chris Froome (Team Sky) finished 11th, 27 seconds slower that de la Cruz in the time trial.
Froome. Ruta del Sol. Low profile.ClassicomanoLuigi said:Froome was probably not really going for the win Ruta del Sol, he just kept a lower profile and let Poels contend for the general classification. Which almost worked, only 8 seconds between Poels and Wellens !
Poels also looks physically freakish in a manner similar to Froome, they may be closely-related species in the evolutionary tree :

You are comparing apples with oranges - The IOC banned the group of Russian athletes who then appealed to CAS who upheld the Russian athletes decision - CAS effectively stated you couldn't lump every athlete together because each had individual cases, so effectively stated the athletes couldn't be sanctioned on the basis of doping - The IOC then decided to appeal which then sent it back to a CAS but more importantly framed their appeal on the basis of eligibility - Now the difference with the potential Froome situation is it would be race organisers who seek to ban Froome and not the UCI.

Ehh... no. IOC was "dissapointed" of the decision of CAS which reversed IOC's decision to ban the athletes for life (and take off their medals) from Olympics due to being part of state led doping. IOC hasn't appeald that decision (yet) as far as I know, because the only place to do that is Swiss Court, not CAS anymore. However IOC informed the Russian atheletes in the list are not welcome to Korea and they have right to decline their participation as the organizers of the competition.
The declined atheletes appeald IOC's decision of not allowing them to compete to CAS emergency tribunal within Korea games, which decided IOC has legal ground to decide who gets to compete and who not.
UCI/race organizer vs. IOC does not really matter, IOC is organizer of Olympic games as much as i.e. ASO is organizer of Tour de France.
