Geneva: The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday dismissed an appeal by Italy's Valentino Rossi, motorcycling's former world champion, to set aside his punishment over the 'Marquez-kick' incident. 

"The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Valentino Rossi's request to stay the execution of the decision issued by the (international motorcycle federation) on 25 October 2015," a decision from the Lausanne-based tribunal said.
