So drug cheats are clear to participate in London 2012. What a disgrace. Well I do hate the olympics anyway, so I chose to look at this as another nail in the coffin of this corrupt event. Eric ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options:

well the actual problem is now that British drug cheats can be considered - many other countries' drug cheats could already compete. I think it's a disgrace - hopefully Chambers won't get picked! I feel for David Millar, who has arguably compensated for his mistakes in his anti-doping work

I don't. Banning people for life is overly draconian. We've all seen that they can get it massively wrong - eg Diane Modahl. Olympics are corrupt. Just like FIFA, UEFA, the FA, the Govt - etc Sent from my iPhone On 30 Apr 2012, at 09:43, John Lee bruvvalee...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: well the

Millar's role is to help Mark Cavendish win gold - as he did at last year's world championships. The two-year ban may be inadequate, but the BOA's attitude has been typically pompous and arrogant. Sent using BlackBerry® from Orange -Original Message- From: John Lee

Getting a few years bans will not stop fuelling the science behind new ways of cheating with cheats. This science is a driving factor behind enabling cheats to take a calculated risk. The problem then rubs on to honest athletes that have to put up with multiple drug checks in in-human conditions.

Agreed, life is draconian. As Mark says maybe a two-year ban is inadequate but the BOA's attitude is(was?) OTT. Yes, taking performance enhancing substances is wrong and needs to be caught and the people doing it punished. But for life? Some doing are mature and cyncial but there are the

A life ban goes to far or shall we also bring back the death penalty? Perhaps a slight over-reaction there Guy imho - we're talking about people who cheated not being able, for instance, to run for their country again. Not death! Agree that there are some who are pressurised etc, but unless
