Olympics: Chambers considers challenging ban
Chambers is considering a challenge against his Olympic ban.
LONDON:
British sprinter Dwain Chambers is considering a challenge against his Olympic ban following the revision in rules barring athletes from competing by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. While Chambers is free to compete in most events after completing a drug-related ban back in 2005, he is not in the clear to compete as a Team Great Britain member at the 2012 London Olympics due to a British Olympic Association by-law. Chambers’ representatives are now scrutinizing the by-law to determine whether a challenge could be mounted.
