    From the article:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Canadian wheelchair athlete Jeff Adams has had his suspension for failing an
    event drug test overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

    Adams, who has competed in three Olympics and five Paralymics on the track,
    was banned from competition last year after testing positive for cocaine at
    the 2006 wheelchair marathon championships in Ottawa.

    It was that two-year suspension, due to be lifted just a month before this
    summer's Beijing Games, that was overturned by the arbitration court.

    At a news conference last June 12, Adams said the positive test was the
    result of a contaminated catheter, used after an incident at a Toronto
    nightclub on May 21, 2006, seven days before the Ottawa race.

    The arbitration court, in Lausanne, Switzerland, agreed.

    In a 27-page decision, the court (headed by Houston lawyer Mark Baker, with
    Prof. Edward Ratushny of Ottawa and Toronto lawyer Graeme Mew), upheld five
    of six points in the appeal.

    They found in favour of Adams in all important respects, ruling no doping
    violation had occurred, the ineligibility period of two years was
    eliminated and that the athlete is eligible to receive direct financial
    support from the Canadian government.
