Mark French won a libel suit against an Australian radio programme, which had made statements concerning his doping case from 2004, according to the AP. The court awarded him $227,500 Aus plus expenses.
The Australian Olympic Committee gave French a two-year ban in 2004 after packages of banned products were found in his room at a national training academy in Adelaide. The Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the ruling, saying there was no evidence that he had used or trafficked in illegal substances.
