BOA lose court case

Apr 29 2012

The British Olympic Association have lost a court case to keep their lifetime ban for drugs cheats.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will announce on Monday their decision that the BOA's bylaw does not comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) global code, sources with knowledge of the case have confirmed to the Press Association.

The outcome means sprinter Dwain Chambers and cyclist David Millar will have their lifetime bans lifted to allow their selection for Team GB for the London 2012 Games.
