Not really as the cheaters once caught get a ban (just not lifetime), no sponsor will ever touch them and their career once athletics is over will go downhill fast. They'll never be an ambassador for their sport or anything else..
Dwain will always have the "cheat" label and has really put a complete stop on his professional career. As long as he's not cheating which he can prove and has served a reasonable ban time then why shouldn't he race?
I wonder how many professional footballers would be left in the game if everyone who took a recreational drug at any time was perm banned??
