Dwain Chambers has full support of BOA

The runner Dwain Chambers, that successfully served his 2-year ban for usage of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 Summer 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 Summer Olympics. Several former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user as well.
Dwain Chambers took the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin elaborated a method which could disclose intake of THG, Chambers tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Undoubtedly, intake of the steroid spoiled 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 Dwain Chambers in the 2012 London Olympics. The BOA has established the rules that 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 factor resulted in 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 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 noticed 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 case turned out to be an open door for other athletes that have served their bans to participate in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their suspensions for usage 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 finally 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.
