Dwain Chambers was named representative of Britain at 2012 Olympics

The sprinter Dwain Chambers, who successfully served his 2-year ban for usage of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 Olympic Games.
Chambers worries about the way to represent the home country. As for the British Olympic Association (BOA), they are not happy to see him participating in the 2012 London Olympics. Certain former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user too.
The sprinter administered the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin elaborated a method that could discover usage of THG, the sprinter tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Undoubtedly, usage of the steroid spoiled his reputation. When he attempted to return to professional sports, the BOA made the decision to alter the laws in order to prevent appearing of the sprinter in the 2012 Olympics. The BOA has introduced the rules which suspend steroid users from Olympics for life-time.
Elaborating this rule, the BOA violated the doping code of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This situation caused 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 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 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 be the representative of Britain at the 2012 London Olympics. This case turned out to be an open door for other athletes that have served their suspensions to participate in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their bans for intake of steroids will compete at the 2012 London Olympics too.
Despites wasting much time to prevent appearing of steroid users at Olympic Games, the BOA ultimately claimed that not only Chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other athlete that has served a ban successfully may compete at Olympic Games. Andy Hunt, the CEO of the BOA, has confirmed that any sportsperson is treated the same way.
