IOC has zero tolerance for enhancing drugs

Athletics fans are hoping that this year’s Olympic Games will not be dogged by drugs controversies.

Ever since Ben Johnson stormed to a drug-fuelled success in Seoul in 1988, worries over the use of illegal substances have become part and parcel of the Olympics.

Recent scandals involving a number of athletes associated with banned steroid THG have only increased concerns.

Many have been banned after testing positive for THG, including British sprinter Dwain Chambers.

Other top athletes have not tested positive, but suspicion still surrounds them as they work hard to clear their names.

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
