LaShawn Merritt can defend his Olympic 400m title at London 2012 after winning an appeal against an International Olympic Committee doping law.

| LaShawn Merritt was penalized by 2-year ban, later reduced by 3 months |
The IOC's rule had barred any athlete who has received a doping suspension of more than six months from competing in the next Games.
The American, 25, believed it went beyond World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) sanctions of a maximum two-year ban.
The outcome could force British chiefs to re-think their regulations.
