Medal Presentations - for Athletes Denied by Drug Cheats
The recent news that Kelly Sotherton has now been awarded a bronze medal in her Beijing Olympic heptathlon event after Tatyana Chernova tested positive as a drugs cheat is great news indeed. But what about Kelly and all those athletes around the world who have been denied that moment of glory, that moment of pride in front of thousands in the stadium and millions watching world wide?
This petition hopes to rectify that. We would like theses athletes to be given the opportunity to be presented with their medal in person at the next relevant event. A presentation ceremony should take place either at the beginning or end of the event so these true athletes can experience the joy, glory, and pride that was denied them by disgraced drug cheats.
Please sign this petition if you feel, as we do, that this is the fair and right thing to do.
