LONDON (AP) ? The IOC could be forced to intervene with Britain's Olympic committee if its lifetime ban on drug cheats is found to be in violation of global anti-doping rules.
The World Anti-Doping Agency will consider this weekend whether the British Olympic Association is "noncompliant" with the global code, a potential embarrassment for the nation that will host next year's London Olympics.
The meeting in Montreal comes at the end of a week in which WADA and the BOA exchanged sharp barbs in an unusual public spat between two major sports organizations.
At the heart of the dispute is a BOA bylaw, enacted in 1992, that bars British athletes for life from the Olympics if they are found guilty of doping. Britain is the only country that currently has such a rule.
