France's main anti-doping laboratory has had
its suspension lifted after it corrected its "deficiencies", the World
Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Thursday. |

The Paris laboratory, where disgraced American
cyclist Lance Armstrong's samples were tested, was suspended on
Oct. 31 after it self-reported analytical issues.
WADA said it was satisfied the laboratory had corrected
"non-conformities" with the international standards.
"We are confident that the Laboratory has corrected its
deficiencies and our Laboratory Expert Group will now continue
to monitor the Laboratory’s performance to ensure that it
operates to the high standards required by WADA," WADA director
general Olivier Niggli said in a statement.
