Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the TAS letter of 4 February 2008 was an appealable arbitral decision
Extrahierter Entscheid
The letter was not itself an appealable decision on the merits or a formal dismissal; it merely confirmed that no appeal proceedings had been opened.
Extrahierte Begründung
The non-opening of the appeal proceedings had already been communicated on 23 November 2007. The later letter only informed the new counsel of that prior position and did not newly decide the matter.
