What’s the difference between soccer and athletics?
from the cheating point of view. If an athlete takes drugs to enhance his performance, such as Canadian Ben Johnson and others, their Olympic medals and records were discarded and their careers ended. By contrast the French footballer Thiery Henry,
who deliberately handled the ball twice and by such cheating Ireland stand disbarred from the World Cup, he is a national hero and his deliberate cheating ignored by the footballing authorities. So, why one rule for soccer and another for all other sports. Why shouldn’t all sportmen take drugs and cheat then ? I don’t want to hear anyone say ‘ get over it’ again. OK
the IOC has different rules they are a separate governing agency who go about enforcing their rules how it is prescribed in their rule book, FIFA is a separate rules and go about enforcing their rules how it is prescribed in their rule book. As it stand OIC has rules with bans and revoking medals if drug testing proves positive. As it stand FIFA and the IFAB rules state that decisions of the referee on the field are final, there are provisions for things that the referees completely miss but as FIFA rules states the referee judged that to be a goal so that is how it stands.
