I can see no logic in the decision to withold his medal given that the "drug" has been proven to be non performance enhancing, and that his appeal for retention of his 3rd place in the race has been upheld.

Alan does not have it in his personality to cheat. This was a genuine error and the punishment does NOT fit the 'crime'.

Cheating has to be a deliberate act. Alain Baxter purchased a product he genuinely believed was accepted and was in his geography. He gain no performance benefit and as such should have his medal and position returned

Alain is a true olympian and deserves his medal. The IOC agreed he didn't cheat, so do the RIGHT thing!!

The only scandal here is that he was stripped of his medal- Alain did nothing wrong, it was proven the levomethamphetamine was not enhancing his performance, so why not reinstate the medal he worked so hard to win.

An injustice, he should be given his medal back.
