    WADA taking cautious approach on cycling amnesty

    By STEPHEN WILSON (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press – Thu, Sep 13, 2012

    LONDON (AP) -- The World Anti-Doping Agency says that cycling's proposal to offer amnesty to riders and officials who confess to drug offenses is taking sport into ''unchartered territory.''

    WADA director general David Howman tells The Associated Press that such pardons aren't included in WADA's rules

    However, he says he'll wait to see more details of the suggestion put forward by UCI President Pat McQuaid and has no ''qualms'' about looking into the idea.

    WADA and the UCI are still waiting to receive the evidence that led the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to erase Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles.

Then, this week, it broke that the Department of Justice was also spying on Fox News for reasons that remain unexplained. ...
