JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Only American anti-doping authorities can lift Lance Armstrong's life ban from cycling and any review of his case would require powerful reasons, World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) president John Fahey said on Tuesday, adding that he felt the issue was "done and dusted".

"The only ones who can reopen (it), and it would have be a damn good reason, is USADA (U.S. Anti-Doping Agency). We (WADA) can't, no-one else can, UCI (cycling's international controlling body) can't," Fahey told a news conference before the opening of the World Conference on Doping in Sport.
