My cousin Alain won that medal fair and square for being the brilliant athlete and skier that he is. He used a Vicks Inhaler to clear his blocked nose because he knew that it was an ‘allowed’ medication. He did not know that American Vicks had something else in it. This did not make him win his medal!! The years of hard work, sacrifice, hard grind, sleeping in his car, trying to raise funds and find support - that is what won him the bronze medal. I am fed up watching skiing, Winter Olympics and ski Sunday on the BBC and there is barely a mention of him. His life was ripped apart in that moment. HIS MEDAL SHOULD BE GIVEN BACK TO HIM

Even GSK labs confirmed the findings. This was a travesty of justice and looks unbalanced after tbe treatment of Russian skaters this year.

The time is well overdue that this cleared athlete should have his medal returned.

Time this injustice was righted. He used a Vicks sinex purchased in the US which contained a banned substance.

Dr Catlin has a lot to answer for - passing US athletes who have ingested banned substances yet maintaining an opposing stance to a GB athlete. Alain Baxter's medal needs to be returned. He deserves justice.

He was cleared so is worthy of his medal.
