Finally BOA supports Dwain Chambers

The British runner Dwain Chambers, that 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 don’t want to see him participating in the 2012 Olympics. Some former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user as well.
Dwain Chambers used the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin developed a method that could disclose intake of THG, Chambers tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Undoubtedly, intake of the steroid destroyed his reputation. When he tried to come back to professional sports, the BOA made the decision to change the laws in order to prevent appearing of the sprinter in the 2012 Olympics. The BOA has introduced 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 case led to numerous disputes and news.
The case was even examined 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 consumers of steroids at Olympics. Such former Olympians, as Sebastian Coe and Daley Thompson, loudly supported efforts of the BOA.
 Daley Thompson wrote 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 London Olympics too.
Despites spending much time to prevent appearing of steroid users at Olympic Games, the BOA finally confirmed that not only the sprinter Dwain chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other sportsperson 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.
