Certain people (ie in cycling) have made millions from deliberately taking performance enhancing drugs. Alain had a wee snifter from a Vicks enhaler, the British equivalent of which is approved. There's zero tolerance.... and then there's utter stupidity. The latter in this case. The amazing performance of a great, dedicated and honest athlete has gone unrecognised as a result. He will always be the UK's first Olympic medal winner on snow in the eyes of anyone with any sense.

He has been punished more than athletes who have knowingly and purposefully taken I banned substances. Mistakes happen, talent shouldn't be punished
