The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced today that it will release its final decision in the case between the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on Monday, April 30 at 4:00pm CET.
WADA has ruled that the BOA's policy of giving lifetime Olympic bans to athletes who have served doping suspensions is in violation of the World Anti-doping Agency's code which already provides guidelines for doping punishments.
The BOA appealed that decision to the CAS.
The case applies to cycling in that Scottish rider David Millar, who was key in the success of the British team at the 2011 UCI road world championships, won by Mark Cavendish, could prove to be an important support rider for Cavendish in his bid to become an Olympic gold medalist.
Millar, second in the individual time trial at the world championships, would also be a major contender in that event in London.
