The Court for Arbitration on Sport dismissed a request filed by the Philippine Swimming Inc. against World Aquatics for a stay in the enforcement of the world body's withdrawal of recognition on the national sports association and the creation of the Stabilization Committee that would oversee swimming in the country.

The CAS dismissal of the appeal was stated in a 16-page letter dated Thursday, 2 February 2023, and signed by Dr. Elisabeth Steiner, deputy president of the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division.

"The request for a stay of execution of the decision rendered by the FINA Bureau on 3 and 15 December 2022 filed by the Philippine Swimming Inc. on 20 December 2022 and supplemented on 12 and 19 January 2023 in the matter CAS/2022/9351 Philippine Swimming Inc. v. World Aquatics (formerly known as Federacion Internationale de Natation, is dismissed," the CAS document said.

With the dismissal of the appeal, the CAS affirmed the World Aquatics' order for the establishment of the Stabilization Committee — composed of Atty. Wharton Chan, Valeriano "Bones" Floro and Arrey Perez — to handle the affairs that were supposed to be the PSI's as the sport's national federation.
