If Christie had any morals he would decline outright the invitation. HE IS discredited, I for one, always thought he was using drugs,a suspicion confirmed to me by an aspiring athlete who refused to join a certain training group because he would have been given performance enhancing substances. Anybody banned from the olympics by the BOA must not be allowed to have any connection at all. A proper example must be set before the general public lose all faith in athletics.

They served their time in ban's. That's the end of it. They are still amazing atheltes and deserve every opportunity in the future to do what they please, within existing rules.
