US GOVERNMENT TO LODGE WTO APPEAL

International horse racing authorities will support Bush Administration

According to the Thoroughbred Times (horse racing publication in the USA) the "United States authorities have confirmed to the International Federation of Horse racing Authorities (IFHA) their intention to appeal a World Trade Organization ruling condemning the United States for banning foreign online gambling operators."

The appeal, which is supported by the IFHA, will be filed the first week of January.

In November, a WTO panel ruled that the United States should drop its ban on Americans wagering with offshore Internet casinos, upholding a primary ruling it issued in March in a dispute between the United States and the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda.

The IFHA believes in the national integrity over betting policies and rules and supports the U.S. in the disagreement.

It could take until May to receive a final decision on the dispute.
