Remember Andreea Raducan .........

"He prescribed the medication to this girl. It's a good signal to all the people surrounding the athletes that they can be punished."

Oh really

I always thought this was a terrible injustice.

It is hard to reconcile Andreea being stripped of her well deserved AA Gold medal for taking a cold pill compared to what is going on with so many other athletes who live and die with their planned regimens of performance enhancing drugs.

I wish IOC would take a long look in the mirror and reverse this decision.
Apparently a sportsman's sense of decency is more than we can expect from IOC.

Even if Andreea were to have her medal restored it would never be the same for her.........

But is it ever too late to do the right thing?
