(Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against an independent tribunal's decision in August to clear world number one Jannik Sinner of wrongdoing after he failed drug tests, WADA said on Saturday.

The airline said the blaze broke out at its supporting facilities on Saturday morning and staff on duty immediately alerted firefighters. Police said they received a report of smoke coming from an electrical meter room at the lounge at 9.55am, with 252 people being evacuated from the scene.“An initial investigation suspected that a short circuit was involved, which was deemed to be not suspicious,” a police spokesman said.“As the lounge is temporarily closed for repairs until further notice, we have arranged for customers to transfer to other Cathay Pacific lounges before boarding their flights,” it said in a statement.
