    "The most dramatic change is WADA's acceptance that its rule of strict
    liability (athletes are responsible for what goes into their bodies
    without excuse) occasionally punishes those who do not intend to
    cheat."

    On the flip side, anti-doping bodies want WADA to impose four year bans
    for first offences for strong drugs, like hormones. The whole WADA code
    will be revamped after the world anti-doping conference in November.

    To me, most of these changes look fairly sensible.

    This will have no effect on a rider's speed in a velodrome turn.

    Dumbass,

    Of course it will. Physics will no longer be strictly liable for
    acceleration in the turns.
