Court of Arbitration for Sport Appeal of MV Agusta & Luca Scassa The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) convened in a hearing on 19 February 2007, in Lausanne (Switzerland) to judge the appeal lodged by MV Agusta Motors and the Italian rider Luca Scassa against the decision of the FIM Stewards. Scassa had won the Superstock FIM Cup race in Imola on 1st October 2006.
