Surely common sense should prevail, Alain won the medal fair and square. The molecule was an isomer of the banned substance anyway, therefore arguably not illegal. He deserves the medal.

It has been proven that Alan unintentionally took a substance that provides no performance advantage. I would be embarrassed if I were Benjamin Reich knowing that I was holding onto someone else's medal that they had earned honestly on a level playing field

Common sense should have prevailed at the time.

He won bronze fair and square, did not cheat and deserves his medal back. The miniscule trace in an innocent remedy did not affect his performance in the slightest. It is that simple.

Idiot suits run sport and ruin it for athletes and supporters. Alain Baxter won that medal and should have it returned. Give him back his medal!

Miscarriage of justice from the start - this isn't what drug testing was meant to do.

Why should Alain suffer because the IOC didn't differentiate between the performance enhancing variant and the one which did not. The IOCwere instructed to up date their flawed, out of date laws. An athlete could do the same in the Olympics now and they would keep their medal. The IOC should hang their heads in shame.
