Alex Schwazer uses dope


 Gold medal-winning race-walker

 Alex Schwazer was the first walker to come in at the London Olympics after 3 hours and 39 minutes. Shortly after that he was found using drugs to make him run faster, he was doping his blood. When the authorities found out he was band from the Olympics and he was proud of it because he said that without getting caught he would have still been using drugs.

Reflection: I think that this situation is a very sad situation because some who has made it so fair into the Olympics had to give away his medal because he or she was under the impression of drugs. I think this was a very wrong thing to do when you are at the Olympics.
