No sir, this has not been proven. Unless of course you consider a month long study on rats being extrapolated out to a lifetime for humans is considered proof.

Gatlin served his time. If y'all don't think dopers should get a second chance you need to boo WADA and the IAAF, not those who are playing by the rules.

It is so ironic that this comes from Steve Cram.

Johnson is going downhill rapidly. Crammie repeatedly called out Dwain Chambers and objected on air every time he showed up. He always mentions Russians who have returned after a ban etc etc. What MJ is really saying is US dopers should get a pass whine whine it isn't fair. What difference does it make whether those are from the current games or not? If you don't like it, don't field a convicted doper in your team.

Nothing to do with WADA or the IAAF who both would have ended his career with bans given the chance.

Londoners love BBC

MJ is more than suspect himself, while Cram isn't. Gatlin deserves the boos, while plenty of other convicted dopers didn't get the boos at the champs.

To reiterate this guy's point, it would be almost impossible to even ATTEMPT to "prove" such a claim. It would require a great many willing participants to be doped and/or "undoped" under a variety of strictly controlled doping and training regimens over a period of many years, while also controlling for a placebo affect. Could not be done.
