The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has appealed against the decision not to sanction British cyclist Lizzy Banks following a positive doping test.<\/b><\/p>\n
Banks, 33, quit the sport last month following a 10-month case, in which UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) found her at “no fault or negligence” and lifted her suspension.<\/p>\n
She faced a two-year ban and spent about \u00a340,000 contesting the result, which found traces of chlortalidone and formoterol, before being cleared by Ukad in March.<\/p>\n
Wada has told BBC Sport it lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 4 June.<\/p>\n
Banks has represented Great Britain at the World Championships and won stages at the Giro d’Italia. She was competing for World Tour team EF Education-Tibco-SVB when she was notified of the adverse analytical finding last July.<\/p>\n
The cyclist said formoterol was something she had taken for years for asthma, however was unable to trace the chlortalidone, a diuretic which is banned as it can be used as a masking agent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
