IOC's "Rule 45" Overturned

The Court of Arbitration for Sport this morning in the USOC v. IOC decision found the IOC "Rule 45" to be "invalid and unenforceable." The rule had barred athletes from the Olympic Games if they had been banned for more than six months for an anti-doping offense. This opens the door for many athletes from around the world to now compete in the London Olympic Games. The Court of Arbitration for Sport decision is available here.
