But as time went on, as we realized what little impact it had, I became angry for what the boycott did to all these people, my friends and teammates, and people in all those other countries too." The Soviets and East Germans returned the favor in 1984, boycotting L.A. and lessening the competition at the 1984 Games. In a 1991 interview, Russian swimming legend Vladimir Salnikov said he still lamented not facing the Americans in Moscow in 1980, and again in L.A. in 1984. The matching boycotts robbed an entire generation of athletes on both sides of the Iron Curtain of their greatest competition on the world's grandest stage.

On April 20, 2012 Chedwin Evans; 23 year old professional soccer player was convicted of rape. On October 17, 2014 Evans was released from prison after being sentenced five years; having only served half of the sentence.Though he was found guilty, many believe that wasn’t the case especially with the evidence presented.

Those who were affected most by the ban were not the minority of users: competitive athletes, rather the overwhelming majority: recreational users hoping to polish their self image, enhance physical performance, and promote health.
