WADA asks BOA to review Olympic ban rule

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has asked the British Olympic Association to review its policy of giving a lifetime Olympic ban to any athlete previously suspended for doping.On Thursday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport threw out an IOC rule that bars any athlete who has received a doping suspension of more than six months from competing in the next games.The BOA reiterated its commitment to its bylaw which has been in place since 1992, although WADA director-general David Howman says the ruling has not been approved by his organization.Howman tells the BBC what weve done as a result of the CAS decision is to write to (the BOA). They are trying to take a strong approach ... but it has to be fair and consistent.
