They should be punished severly when they get caught, but as soon as the punishment is over they should be given the chance to show what they can do clean. Granted, they will have no credibility and will forever be recognized as a cheater, but at least one chance should be given. They should never be put in the Hall of Fame for their respective sport, but should be allowed to win individual awards for the time they remain clean.
Gatlin wasn't the only cheater in your sport, dlish. Marion Jones is another big one, along with many others. The cream and the clear wrecked track and field's reputation so much that if Bolt wasn't here right now, I believe the sport would have zero attention.
