MONTE CARLO. Feb 1: The arbitration panel of the International Amateur Athletic Federation which was to review the doping case of Australian sprinter Dean Capobianco next month has been postponed until March, the IAAF said on Thursday, reports Reuter.

The IAAF said in a statement it had agreed to a request by Capobianco's lawyers for a postponement and the panel would now meet on March 15-16 Instead of February 8-9.

It is the second time this month that Capobianco's case has been postponed.

The IAAF asked earlier in January for more time to examine the Australian's claims that a positive dope test in Hengelo, Netherlands in May last year could have been caused by eating contaminated meat.
