The IOC need to review this case. It ludicrous that the cycling fraternity have blighted their sport for so long and got away with it, yet skiing is unable to be given the grace it deserves, epitomised by the injustice of denying a young racer an olympic medal because he self medicated a blocked nose. Skiing is a clean sport now and was then. Getting Alain's medal reinstated is the respect the IOC needs to give back to both Alain and the sport of alpine skiing.

Never seen a worse decision in sport. Alain Baxter was a superb athlete and skier and should have his medal reinstated. We should use common sense and acknowledge that the Vicks had no impact on his performance and his talent won him the bronze medal not any drugs. Please reinstate his medal!

IOC need to rectify this injustice,particularly since the international court for arbitration in sport exonerated Alain as did the BOA.we should ask Benni Raich to support Alain too.

His run was amazing and the substance he tested positive for had no impact on that.

I trained and raced with Alain for many years on the British ski team. Alain is a clean and talented athlete who is an inspiration to a generation of athletes proving Britain can be truly World class in Alpine ski racing. Bring the bronze back where it belongs! Pass this on and sign. Thanks

His medal should be returned to him as he is innocent. Come on IOC, do the right thing!

I'm a PE teacher who regularly discusses drugs in sport. I show the documentary about East Germany in the 70's & 80's. I see drugs cheats still in the IAAFs record books. Alain Baxter is no cheat. He is an Olympic medallist who was unfairly treated by a dubious governing body. Be proud of your dad Kerr!

Alain Baxter was cleared and now the IOC should do the honourable thing and give his bronze medal back - everyone knows Alain won it fair and square and he deserves it back
