It is an utter disgrace even though the IOC eventually found in Alain's favour that no public media apology was made, nor was HIS medal ever handed back . Through the mistakes of others Alain is still paying, the recent media nonsense re the "first Olympic snow sports medal ever for the UK!" Sickens me !! IT was Alain in 2002

Alain won the Bronze Medal fair and square.
He is a World Class athlete and a tremendous sportsman.
The petition has my fullest support

The BBC are rewriting history, Alains achiement cannot be ignored whatever the IOC's position. He was exonerated, HIS medal should be returned.

Give back the medal that was so wrongly taken away! If the FSI accepted that he used an inhaler then they should return his medal!!!

Alain was cleared of any wrong doing so have the integrity to give him his medal and acknowledge his rightful place in olympic snowsport history

I believe Alain Baxter should have been given his bronze medal back after being cleared of any wrong doing and the BBC should recognise Alain is our first Winter Olympics Snowsports Medal Winner.

I've known this man since he was a young lad making sacrifices for his sport.. dedication is a word that hardly describes his drive towards winning Olympic bronze.. rogue for reasons known only to himself treated Alain extremely unfairly .. justice should be done..his medal must be returned..

The doctor that gave Alain his cold medicine (that's all it was) stated that the chemicals in it would be more likely to hinder his performance, not enhance it, so if he hadn't been taking it he could have ended up with silver, or even gold! He won his bronze medal fair and square, and I think it's ridiculous how a man isn't even allowed to fight off a cold when he's in the winter olympics.

Snowboarder, Ross Rebagliati, was given his Nagano 1998 gold medal back after being stripped after failing a drugs test for marijuana, even though this would likely have been a deliberate act. So, why has Alain Baxter's medal not been restored when it has been acknowledged by the IOC as a genuine mistake?! It's time for this to be rectified

Alain was cleared of any wrongdoing, do the decent thing and reinstate his bronze medal which he won fairly. Uphold the Olympic traditions of fairness or hang your heads in shame IOC!
