UK Anti-Doping has admitted it is concerned and will review its support to athletes, after cycling Lizzy Banks revealed her life had been “torn apart for nothing” by a 10-month case which concluded she was at “no fault or negligence” for a positive doping test.
The 33-year-old, who has ridden for Great Britain at the World Championships and was competing for WorldTour team EF Education-Tibco-SVB when she was notified of the result last July, has published a lengthy blog post about an ordeal which she says has cost her around £40,000.
