BOA is not happy that Dwain Chambers will participate in 2012 Olympics

The runner Dwain Chambers, that successfully served his 2-year suspension for administration 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 native country. When it comes to the British Olympic Association (BOA), they don’t want to see him taking part in the Olympic Games. Several former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user as well.
The runner applied the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) introduced by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin developed a method that could disclose application 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 return to professional sports, the BOA decided to alter the laws in order to prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers in the 2012 Summer Olympics. The BOA has established the rules which suspend steroid users from Olympics for the whole life.
Establishing 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 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 steroid users at Olympics. Such former Olympians, as Sebastian Coe and Daley Thompson, loudly supported efforts of the BOA.
 Daley Thompson stated 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. 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 bans to participate in Olympics.
The cyclist David Millar and the shot-putter Carl Myerscough that have served their suspensions for administration of steroids will compete at the 2012 Olympics too.
Despites wasting much time to keep former steroid users from Olympic Games, the BOA finally claimed that not only Dwain Chambers but also Millar, Myerscough or any other sportsperson that has served a ban successfully may compete at Olympic Games. The CEO of the BOA Andy Hunt has claimed that any sportsperson is treated the same way.
