Fahey: Armstrong’s lifetime ban could be reduced if he cooperates with USADA

WADA president John Fahey has indicated that Lance Armstrong’s lifetime ban from sport may be reduced if he cooperates fully with USADA. The US Anti-Doping Agency banned Armstrong for life last year after they uncovered that the US Postal team and its leadership ran what they believed was the most sophisticated doping programme sport had ever seen.
