BOA can’t prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers at 2012 Olympics

The sprinter Dwain Chambers, who successfully served his 2-year suspension for intake of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 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. Several former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user as well.
The runner took the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) introduced by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin introduced a method which could disclose administration of THG, Dwain Chambers tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Of course, usage of the steroid destroyed his reputation. When he tried to return to professional sports, the BOA decided to change 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 the whole life.
Introducing 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. The chairman of the BOA Loyd Moynihan put essential 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 claimed that Britain should not compromise. He claimed 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 Olympics. This aspect turned out to be an open door for other sportspersons that have served their bans to take part in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their bans for usage of steroids will compete at the 2012 Olympics as well.
Despites wasting much time to keep former steroid users from Olympics, the BOA ultimately claimed that not only Dwain Chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other athlete that has served a ban successfully may compete at Olympic Games. The CEO of the BOA Andy Hunt has confirmed that any athlete is treated the same way.
