BOA doesn’t desire to see sprinter Dwain Chambers at 2012 Olympic Games

The runner Dwain Chambers, who successfully served his 2-year suspension for administration of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 London Olympics.
Chambers troubles about the way to represent the native country. As for 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 consumer of steroids too.
The runner administered the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin developed a method which could disclose 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 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 established the rules that ban 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 led to many disputes and news.
The case was even presented in the Court of Arbitration for Sports. Loyd Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, put essential efforts in order to prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers or other consumers of steroids at Olympics. Sebastian Coe and Daley Thompson, former Olympians, loudly supported efforts of the BOA.
 Daley Thompson claimed that Britain should not compromise. He noted 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. Chambers was allowed to be the representative of Britain at the 2012 Olympics. This aspect turned out to be an open door for other sportspersons that have served their suspensions to take part in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their suspensions for steroid use will compete at the 2012 Olympics as well.
Despites wasting much time to keep former steroid users from Olympics, the BOA ultimately confirmed that not only Dwain Chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other athlete that has served a suspension successfully may compete at Olympics. Andy Hunt, the CEO of the BOA, has claimed that any sportsperson is treated the same way.
