Former drugs cheats Dwain Chambers and David Millar have been formally cleared to take part in this summer's London Olympics.
Yesterday the British Olympic Association officially rescinded its policy of enforcing lifetime bans for athletes who are found guilty of doping offences.
The move comes as a result of a ruling made by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last month which declared that the ban contravened the World Anti-Doping Agency code.
A BOA statement said: "Following a discussion period, during which members of the National Olympic Committee reiterated their support for the decision taken by the BOA board to defend the Eligibility Bye Law before CAS, it was agreed that the bye law would immediately be rescinded in order for the BOA to comply with the CAS ruling.
"The BOA will now notify WADA of this decision in writing."
Sprinter Chambers is now free to be selected for the Team GB track and field team, while Millar is in contention for a place in Britain's cycling road race team.
