No any athlete that possesses steroids for personal use can be stop importing steroids to the UK

Officials of the UK will be not capable to stop athletes importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Although usage of steroids is banned in sports, personal usage of these medications is legal in the UK. Just distribution of steroids is considered to be illicit in this country. Thus, if anybody attempts to import quantity of anabolic steroids that is obviously large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympics took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed legislation connected with import and application of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t want to modify steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Ironically, while the government of the UK refuses to make personal intake of steroids illicit, Britain athletes are banned for lifetime, if they administer anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, sportspersons who administer forbidden products are banned for 2 years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notes that it is needed to have a universal policy related to sentencing. This minister insists on at least four years or even longer.  However this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh punishment. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson states that some sanctions should be milder.
The Olympic minister admits that there are different opinions in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesperson for Hugh Robertson has claimed that any athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the quantity of steroids should demonstrate that he/she possesses them just for personal administration. The spokesman has noted that it is not illegal for a sportsperson to use steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught administering banned medications, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD stated that they would cooperate with border control officers. Information about sportspeople will be used by anti-doping officials.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.
