DRUG cheats will be kept out at one Olympics under the World Anti-Doping Agency's proposal to increase the suspension for serious violations from two years to four years.
WADA plans to double the standard penalty in the next edition of its global anti-doping code, which will come up for approval next year and go into effect in 2015. Some athletes and sports bodies have previously challenged four-year bans in court as being too severe and a restraint of trade. But WADA President John Fahey said there is "an overwhelming amount of support for the sanction to be strengthened" for use of steroids, human growth hormone and other serious doping substances and methods.
