Rejected petition Life Bans for Doping Athletes

More details

I believe that athletes who use performance enhancing drugs should be banned for life, as doping is cheating and is also dangerous. Life bans for doping athletes would deter younger athletes from cheating, and would therefore clean up sport as a whole.

I would like the Minister of Sport, Hugh Robertson, to ban athletes who cheat in this country, and set an example for other countries.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a matter for the sporting authorities, not the Government.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
