I was recently instructed as a consultant by Nordwand Law LLC in Bern to work with Swiss sports lawyer Sridar Paramalingham. Together we acted for professional triathlete and ironman competitor Tomás Rodríguez. Tomás was facing legal proceedings involving WADA and the ITA. We were appointed under the Sport Resolutions pro bono legal scheme. The case has now been reported by the ITA. It has also been covered by Triathlete. After proceedings were concluded Tomás made the following statement.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express my deepest gratitude to Sridar Paramalingam, Muiris Lyons, and the entire team at Nordwand Law LLC for their exceptional support during my legal proceedings with the World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Testing Agency (ITA). My name is Tomás Rodríguez, and as a professional triathlete, I faced an adverse result that jeopardized my career.
From the very beginning, Mr. Paramalingam and his team, with the invaluable assistance of Mr. Lyons, provided not only top-tier legal representation, but also a profound level of understanding and empathy toward my personal situation. They made me feel supported by professionals who genuinely care about their clients’ well-being and are deeply committed to ensuring justice is served.
Throughout our collaboration, I was consistently impressed by their unwavering dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and their strategic approach to navigating the complexities of my case. Their expertise and professionalism were instrumental in presenting a robust and well-founded defense.
I wholeheartedly recommend Sridar Paramalingam, Muiris Lyons, and Nordwand Law LLC to any athlete or individual facing proceedings related to sports law or anti-doping issues. Their technical knowledge is outstanding, and the personal support they offer makes a substantial difference in times of uncertainty.
Once again, I extend my sincere thanks to them for their tireless work, dedication, and professionalism.
Yours faithfully, Tomás Rodríguez Triathlete
