BOA couldn’t prevent participation of Dwain Chambers at 2012 Olympics

The British track sprinter Dwain Chambers, that successfully served his 2-year ban for application of anabolic steroids, was chosen to be the representative of Great Britain in the 2012 London 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 taking part in the 2012 Olympics. Several former British Olympians don’t support the steroid user as well.
The British sprinter used the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) elaborated by Patrick Arnold. After Don Catlin elaborated a method which could detect THG, the sprinter tested positive for this steroid. It was on November 7, 2003.
Of course, intake of the steroid destroyed his reputation. When he attempted to come back to professional sports, the BOA decided to change the laws in order to prevent appearing of Dwain Chambers in the 2012 Summer Olympics. The BOA has elaborated the rules which 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 situation 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 great 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 wrote that Britain should not compromise. He claimed 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 Summer Olympics. This aspect turned out to be an open door for other athletes 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 administration of steroids will compete at the 2012 Olympics as well.
Despites spending 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 suspension successfully may compete at Olympic Games. Andy Hunt, the CEO of the BOA, has confirmed that any sportsperson is treated the same way.
