Olympics: British drug bans to face arbitration
Dwain Chambers and other British drugs cheats could be cleared for London 2012 by April.
Dwain Chambers and other British drugs cheats could be cleared for London 2012 by April after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) finalised a hearing into their lifetime Olympic bans, which is scheduled for March 12, according to the BBC. Sprinter Chambers, 33, has served a ban for a positive test in 2003, but is still barred from the Olympic team by a British Olympic Association (BOA) bylaw. The BOA argues that a clean drugs record is part of its selection criteria and it should not be considered as a punishment on those who have failed tests in the past.
