Dwayne Chambers Might Compete in Gateshead
- After a 2-year ban from the IAAF, the British athlete is ready for the comebackBy: Ovidiu Panzariu, Sports Editor
Maybe you’re wondering what happened with Dwayne Chambers lately. Although he is still training, he hasn’t been in a race for almost two years now. And that happened since the International Athletics Associations Federation (IAAF) decided to give him a two-year ban for using steroids. Unlike other athletes, the British 100m-track runner admitted his mistake and settled with a long period of time outside the sport.

Well, now all of that is about to change. At least that’s his intention, since competing in the next Gateshead meeting seems to be the number one priority for him and his trainers. Although his time of ban did not yet expire, a spokesman of the UK Athletics stated that the IAAF might give him the go-ahead the very next week. One of the encouraging signs of that happening is that the international body already eased up on Chambers, asking only 140.000 Euros from the 2003 earnings, instead of 190.000 – the sum that the Brit won during the time he was using banned substances."We are close to an agreement with some minor outstanding issues pending but I am very optimistic that he will run this weekend. We are working around the clock towards that. We're still waiting for confirmation of an agreement between Chambers and the IAAF", said a spokesman for the British athlete.He has been training intensively in the last year, with the help of current record holder Asafa Powell and former 2003 World Champ Kim Collins. Coach Glem Mills has stated that his pupil is doing very well and that he is fit for a new competition, after almost 2 years of inactivity. Still, Cubie Seegobin – the athlete’s agent - said that people should not expect Chambers to make a very convincing comeback, since, he hasn’t run in a competitive race for a long time: "He has trained hard, but people should not expect the Dwain Chambers of the past, at least not for the moment, and give him time to shake off the rust".



personally i believe that he shouldnt compete in the sport as he is setting a bad example to the young sports- (the media believe that message he has giving of is is that the people cannot win the olympics without drugs-he said that-this motivates the young to use drugs).
