BOA lifetime drug bans overturned

Sky Sports understands the BOA's lifetime ban on drug cheats has been
overturned by CAS
The British Olympic Association has lost its court case to retain its
lifetime ban for drugs cheats, according to reports.
The decision, set to be confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for
Sport today at 1500BST, means British sprinter Dwain Chambers and
cyclist David Millar will be available for selection for London 2012.
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) brought a case against the BOA's
policy of imposing life suspensions for the Games, arguing that it
contravened their code.
Chambers, 34, received a life ban from the Olympics after testing
positive for a banned substance in 2003, and despite being off the
pace from the world's top stars, he remains GB's top 100m runner.
GB hurdler Andy Turner tweeted: "Make lifetime ban for drug cheats
worldwide or scrap it completely. The world won't follow Britain's
rules so I'm happy for Dwain."
On current form, Chambers should at least make the GB relay team and
team-mate and fellow-sprinter Marlon Devonish said: "I've got no
problem passing the baton to him or receiving it from him. People make
mistakes."
Cyclist Millar was suspended in 2004 for two years after testing
positive for the blood-boosting agent EPO.
The BOA confirmed on Sunday it had received the decision, but would
not reveal its contents.
