Yes originally, but he only ended up serving one year for ratting out Shrummond
Not only that, when he was convicted, they left him start his 1 year term on July 1st even though he was convicted well after that so he would be able to compete in the Diamond League the next year...
I'm telling you, Tyson barely even suffered anything from this whole fiasco... He didn't get to compete at worlds, and indoor season barely matters anyways... He came right back at DL Laussane July 2nd, and carried on w/ his career, it's like he wasn't even gone... We obviously don't take doping seriously enough...
I agree that he was underpunished, but
he did lose (probably) millions of dollars, gave back his OG medal and missed a WC.
is still sponsored by adidas? I suspect not but he still claims to be.
