WADA confirms it won’t appeal against Armstrong sanctions

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has confirmed they will not appeal against the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA) sanctions against Lance Armstrong.

USADA recommended all Armstrong’s results from August 1, 1998 were expunged from the record books, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins, and that the 41-year-old should be banned from cycling for life.

While the International Cycling Union highlighted some criticisms of the USADA when ratifying their findings last week, WADA were unequivocal in their support yesterday.
