CBV postpones Superliga semi-finals while deciding whether Wallace can play

In a twist, the CBV (Brazilian Volleyball Confederation) opted to postpone the first match of the Men’s Super League semifinal series between Sada/Cruzeiro and Farma Conde/São José, which was scheduled for next Saturday (15). The match was rescheduled for next Wednesday, the 19th.

The entity is studying whether or not to allow the casting of the opposite Wallace by Sada. The player was suspended for 90 days by the Ethics Committee of the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB), but managed to obtain a warrant from the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) to be able to play.

If it complies with a decision, the CBV will automatically be failing to comply, running the risk of suffering the consequences – the column explained this this Wednesday (12). The confederation then decided to throw the answer to an arbitration company.

“Since Wednesday (12), the CBV has been faced with two conflicting decisions, taken by two independent bodies. provided for in the statutes of the COB and the CBV,” the confederation said in a statement.

The CBV also said it regretted the situation: “The CBV regrets the damage to all those involved in the event – clubs, players, fans, sponsors and the broadcaster that holds the transmission rights.”
