Justin Gatlin and Dwain Chambers want to show that they are worthy to be called “Olympic champions”

2 sprinters who have served bans plan to display that they may compete successfully without intake of steroids. They desire to participate in the 2012 London Olympics. Justin Gatlin, an American runner, and Dwain Chambers, a British runner, desire to display that they can win, competing clean.
They have already manifested that they are worthy to be called “Olympic champions”. While Justin Gatlin has obtained the gold medal, Dwain Chambers has won the bronze medal in the 60 meter sprint a1t the 2012 World Indoor Athletics Championship in Turkey.
The USA Track and Field and the US Olympic Committee invited Justin Gatlin to professional sports. These two organizations noticed about their attitude to this sprinter, supporting him.
As for Dwain Chambers, it is not clear yet whether he will be allowed to take part in the Olympics. This athlete was not so supported, as Justin Gatlin was. Chambers experienced cold response from the British Olympic Association (BOA). This runner’s comeback to sports prompted the decision of the BOA to ban sportspersons that have been caught applying steroids from the Olympics forever.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has informed the BOA that this decision violated the WADA rules linked with steroids. The BOA decided to fight against WADA and to prevent participation of Dwain Chambers for the United Kingdom in the Olympics. The BOA has taken the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
so, while Gatlin was supported by the US Olympic Committee, Chambers’ case was not pleasant.
Justin Gatlin has never admitted that he had utilized steroids intentionally. But Chambers took the complete responsibility for steroid use.
The American runner tested positive for testosterone in April 2006. This athlete’s world record was annulled after the results of testing had been pronounced. At the beginning this sprinter was banned for eight years. Later his suspension was reduced by half due to cooperation with the USADA.
Gatlin didn’t admit that he had applied steroids intentionally. He demonized his masseuse for application of a testosterone cream during a massage.
On the contrary, Dwain Chambers acknowledged that he had administered steroids and taken the whole responsibility for the violation of steroid rules. He was banned for 2 years. This runner lost all medals he obtained since 2002.
Different attitudes to these sprinters have shown the difference between perceptions of athletes who have administered steroids by anti-doping officials in the USA and in the UK.
