Dwain Chambers set for Olympic verdict
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...cs/7503792.stm
The result should be this morning... What really annoys me is that I've never seen or heard an apology from this person about what he did..until I do I'm inclined to think the ban should stay.Even then it would depend a lot on what he had to say. So do you think he should be allowed onto the team or do you think the ban should stand? |
Re: Dwain Chambers set for Olympic verdict
I personally think that the ban should stand.
He made the choice to take steroids knowing full well the rules and bans subjected to people caught... Kymmy |
Re: Dwain Chambers set for Olympic verdict
Quite simply he's a cheat. The ban should stay in place.
I know the legal arguments may allow him back in but morally it undermines the whole olympic ethos if cheats are allowed to compete. |
Re: Dwain Chambers set for Olympic verdict
We shouldn't overturn the ban for one person. He knew the consequences before he took drugs. Took them anyway. The olympics can't mean that much to him.

Common sense prevailed at last.
At the end of the day, his body is still enhanced by the use of steriods, so if he won at the olympics it would be arguable to whether it was still fair or not. I don't like his attitude because he says you can't win today unless you use performance enhancing drugs so I hope he gets everything he deserves. |
Re: Dwain Chambers set for Olympic verdict
What i don't understand is what the first two year ban he got was then? Surely that's pointless if he's going to be banned from the Olympics, why don't they just change it to banning people who take steroids for life. Personally i think he served the time (2 years) for taking steroids and learnt from his mistakes and should have been allowed to compete.

Thinking about it though his defence wsa that he couldn;t ply his trade due to the ban, if he had won then couldn't every banned car driver claim the same???? Kymmy |

I have to say I'm pleased..not that that I'm vindictive but because unless you have rules that you stick to in sport you then run the danger bringing that sport into disrepute.
I also think that his admission to the BBC was pretty damning.Not only did he affect himself but he affected the other athletes on the relay team who hadn't cheated. Quote:

Yes but a judge taking into account the driver needs his car for work is totally different than the driver saying "I need the car for work so you can;t ban me" In the end he's out of this years olympics so job done :) Kymmy |
