Lord Moynihan, the BOA chairman, branded the decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport as "a hollow victory" for the World Anti-Doping Association, who had declared the lifetime ban "non-compliant" with their code.
WADA responded by criticising the BOA for "the many hysterical and inaccurate public statements" from the organisation during the case.
