Court of Arbitration for Sports allowed former steroid users to participate in Olympic Games

The British track sprinter Dwain Chambers, that successfully served his 2-year ban for administration of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 London Olympics.
Chambers worries about the way to represent the home country. When it comes to the British Olympic Association (BOA), they are not happy to see him participating in the 2012 Olympics. Certain former British Olympians don’t support the consumer of steroids as well.
The runner applied the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin developed a method which could disclose intake of THG, Dwain Chambers tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Of course, application of the steroid spoiled his reputation. When he attempted to come back to professional sports, the BOA decided to change the laws in order to prevent appearing of the sprinter in the 2012 Summer Olympics. The BOA has elaborated the rules which ban steroid users from Olympics for the whole life.
Introducing this rule, the BOA violated the doping code of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This case resulted in numerous disputes and news.
The case was even presented in the Court of Arbitration for Sports. Loyd Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, put great efforts in order to prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers or other consumers of steroids at Olympics. Such former Olympians, as Sebastian Coe and Daley Thompson, loudly supported efforts of the BOA.
 Daley Thompson stated that Britain should not compromise. He confirmed that Britain should not listen to the rest of the world that don’t desire to have high standards in sports. The Court of Arbitration for Sports acted on behalf of the WADA. Dwain Chambers was allowed to represent Britain at the 2012 London Olympics. This aspect turned out to be an open door for other sportspersons that have served their suspensions to participate in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their suspensions for usage of steroids will compete at the 2012 Olympics as well.
Despites spending much time to keep former steroid users from Olympic Games, the BOA ultimately claimed that not only the sprinter Dwain chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other athlete that has served a suspension successfully may compete at Olympics. The CEO of the BOA Andy Hunt has claimed that any athlete is treated the same way.
