PARIS — Russian cycling team Katusha, bitter over its exclusion from the WorldTour list of teams which gives it automatic entry to the major Tours next year, announced Saturday it would take its case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Russian outfit, which enjoyed a successful season largely thanks to veteran Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez who finished the year top of the WorldTour rankings, was left fuming over its exclusion from the final list of 18 teams that was announced by the International Cycling Union (UCI) last Monday. Katusha must now rely on invitations from organizers. — AP
