Scots skier Alain Baxter was hailed as a hero when he returned form the Winter Olympics in 2002.
Baxter became the first British male to win a medal in Alpine skiing when he brought home the Bronze at the games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
However, a few days after his triumphant return, Baxter was notified that he had failed a drugs test.
The IOC stripped Baxter of his medal as he was found to have banned substances in his system, the result of using a Vick’s nasal spray bought in the US that the skier claimed he did not know contained the offending material.
