BOA doesn’t want to see Dwain Chambers at 2012 London Olympics

The sprinter Dwain Chambers, who successfully served his 2-year suspension for administration of anabolic steroids, was named the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 Olympic Games.
Chambers troubles about the way to represent the home country. When it comes to the British Olympic Association (BOA), they are not happy to see him taking part in the Olympic Games. Certain former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user too.
Dwain Chambers administered the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin introduced a method which could discover intake of THG, Chambers tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Of course, intake of the steroid spoiled his reputation. When he tried to come back to professional sports, the BOA decided to alter the laws in order to prevent appearing of the sprinter in the 2012 Olympics. The BOA has established the rules which suspend steroid users from Olympics for life-time.
Establishing this rule, the BOA violated the doping code of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This situation caused numerous disputes and news.
The case was even presented in the Court of Arbitration for Sports. Loyd Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, put significant efforts in order to prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers or other steroid users 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 want to have high standards in sports. The Court of Arbitration for Sports acted on behalf of the WADA. Chambers was allowed to be the representative of Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics. This case 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 intake of steroids will compete at the 2012 Olympics too.
Despites spending much time to keep former steroid users from Olympics, 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 Olympic Games. The CEO of the BOA Andy Hunt has claimed that any athlete is treated the same way.
