right or wrong decision.
IMO drugs in any form is a life time ban at any level of sport, not just the olympics.

I agree with that sentiment.

On the other hand, when we release people from prison some jobs are automatically prohibited, can't have (for instance) a sex offender becoming a teacher, it's not punishment for their crime but it's protection. The athletes in question have shown that the pressure to win got to them so much that they felt cheating would be the best option, whose to say that putting them back in a situation where winning a medal is the ultimate goal of every athlete (Olympics being the big one, biggest one even) won't make them want to try and cheat the system again?
But if we go down that route, we're punishing people based on stuff they may not do, which is very un-British, but it's also very British (outside the football pitch) to practise fair play.
So, there is no easy answer, if they do manage to compete in the Olympics then they should have mandatory drug testing before selection, after selection and during the games rather than just random testing.

Quote from: David So, there is no easy answer, if they do manage to compete in the Olympics then they should have mandatory drug testing before selection, after selection and during the games rather than just random testing.
In the case in question, I would guess the particular athlete will be unable to scratch his nose without falling under suspicion. If selected (he hasn't been yet) he's going to need a pretty thick skin to ignore the comments from the public and his fellow competitors.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Most of the old type of body building drugs are easy to detect it's the modern EPO type of drugs and blood doping that are very hard detect. Did Lasse Virén blood dope?

I accept there will be 'collateral damage' but to help there the technology involved in the testing must be to the highest possible standard....and applied worldwide.

Alberto Contador is an example of this.
Quote However, the UCI said the concentration found by the laboratory was estimated at 50 picograms - 400 times less than anti-doping laboratories accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) must be able to detect.
The cycling governing body UCI cleared him but CAS appealed and he was given a 2 year ban. Should this be life?

And not forgetting Wiggins that won Golds in the Olympics on the track but is focusing this year to win the yellow jersey at the Tour of France.
