Congratulations Dwain for cruising into the 60m final in Valencia.
In what? 6.55secs? Nice one - go and win it!!

After all the BS you've put up with, the hand-wringing, the double standards you deserve it!

I - like most supporters of excellence in sport are 100% behind you.

p.s RE: The Olympics: Take em to court, take em to the cleaners m8 :)

if hes served his 2 year ban whats the problem? steroids build muscle quickly, so in reality hes not still reaping the benifits. he cut a corner n they made him go back and take it correctly, hes back on track so why dont they give him a brake?

He had his two years ban served, and he is the best sprinter we got so let him run the olympics, maybe he will win the only medal for the GB team.

You have to feel that he has done his time and paid for it. He should be allowed to compete once more. After all, how many athletes can say they have not taken anything that improves their performance.

i dont understand handing out a specific length of time for a ban and then when that ban is up not letting someone compete, makes a mockery of the initial ban. He has served his 2 years now you have to let him race, if you dont want someone to race again ban him for 30 years, too old to compete after that.
why has there not been lots of talk about the shot putter anyway (myerscough is it?) convicted drugs cheat, didnt hear about the selection committee selecting him grudgingly did we? now thats one rule for one and another for someone else.

Everyone is forgetting that Carl Myerscough (Shot putter) is also a convicted drug cheat and he hasnt had to deal with the backlash that Chambers has had during the world indoors. Chambers shouldnt have taken drugs and shouldnt have said that all successful athletes are taking drugs as it doesnt send out a good message to our young athletes. But the guy has served his time and apologised repeatedly, wot more can he do?
