So you think he is clean? - what happened to his form on his return to athletics after his ban?

why was he playing at other sports and not concentrating on athletics?

maybe all of the above was due to Chambers not being tested until he realy committed himself to athletics.

Tony leonard, Rothbury,

Why is there all this focus on Chambers ? In almost every event in Birmingham you could name at least one person who was dirty and is now clean. The hypocritical garbage that is coming out of UKA, Lord Coe et al is unbelievable ... What reward is there for reforming if you are forever banned ?

Richard Daniels, Munich, Germany

Had Chambers not performed well then I suspect the stance may have been different.

Seems to me that if the alotted punishement is served then that should be the end of it and the best we ahve should run. If he isnt allowed the punishment must be changed to lifetime bans

The olympic games is as much about pride as it is about sending your fastest and winning medals. If we are proud of sending somebody who has cheated in the past then we should be ashamed. The reason our country is no longer "Great" is because there are too many softys at the helm - "TOUGHEN UP".

I wouldn't mind if anyone was interested in athletics which clearly they are not judging by the crowds at the weekend (or lack of). I'm personally not interested but year after year athlete after athlete gets busted. Whoever has the latest drug wins as usual. same old same old.

Mark, Manchester, uk

My problem with tis whole case is that if the UK Athletics and the BOA didnt want anyone to contest the ban, they should have banned the athlete for life,you cant give a 2yr ban,let the man represent Britain at the World Indoor champs and then assume the athlete will not contest his Olympic ban.

Manny, london,

He has done his time for the crime ,the 2 year ban is a worldwide standard.Carrying on further punishment after this whilst the rest of the world does not ,seems vindictive.Principle s and morals have a place,but when you are the only one applying them it smacks of self rightousness.

le berger, teesside, u.k

He did his ban when he was caught for using illegal drugs. He is now clean and should be allowed to compete at the highest level. What is the point in imposing a 2 year ban when really you never intend for him to be allowed to compete openly once he has served his ban? He is clearly one of the best.

Tommy, Cheltenham,

Surely Chambers enjoying a certain level of success would be one in the eye for the many cheats still out there.

He cheated, was caught, served his ban and returned.

His redemption would be complete if he could win an Olympic medal when clean, and the BOA should be supporting him fully.

GP, Cambridge,

Vivas, your comments don't make sense! "The Cheat" received a 2 year ban from Athletics, aswell as a lifetime ban from the Olympics...no rules have been changed! He knew all this before he CHOSE TO CHEAT, which resulted in "Honest" Athletes Campbell/Devonish/Malcolm being stripped of their Medals!

Rob, Southend, Essex,

There is no law that says the selectors have to pick a particular athlete. Tell Chambers he is eligible for the Olympics and then don't pick him. There is nothing he can do about it.

Roger Tilbury, Worthing,

Perhaps the law needs to be adjusted in that the ban is for five years and the athlete would be tested on a more frequently tested.

Clive, Dartford,

Sadly for British Athletics Ethics & Morality and the law are not in the same sphere! We may all squirm now but if he crosses the line first in Beijing guess what the media judgment will be!! Let him go and we join the rest of the cheats in Beijing - keep him home and feel smug but with less medals!

Ken Wood, Fleet, UK

The BOA is ridiculous. Chambers served his ban. He should now be allow to compete. BOA should have changed the rules before they punished him.

Vivas, London,

A 2 year ban means a ban for two years, not three or ten or forever. Those two years are up - give the guy a break, he is really hungry for a medal in Beijing.

Good luck at the High Court Dwain.

Fred, Bristol, UK

The question is, how much has he benefited from his time on drugs? Has he gained speed, stamina, muscle mass? Does he still have an unfair advantage? That's the objective question. If the answer is yes, then he shouldn't run. Personally, his credibility is shot and he should be banned for life.

James Cullup, Oxford,

Wow. So many holier than thou, whiter than white comments here. So easy to pass judgment isn't it? Strange, but I think he's been punished already by the official global doping agency. Britain's sanctimonious BOC is nauseating. What was that thing Jesus went on about? Forgiveness or something?

Dylan, London,

This is a man that have not tried doping one time, Dwain is a athlete who have used drugs for a decade and have benefited on that. If the judge sends Dwain to Beijing then doping have won, and everyone should do it because the rewards are great financially.

Tommy, London, UK

He knowingly , deliberately took an illegal advantage; in so doing, every time he took a podium place he stole it from someone else. The BOA rules existed before he cheated...why on earth should their rules be suspended just for him? He should have to wait till the case comes up in March. Life Ban.

John McCormack, Camberley,

Amy Winehouse - a known drug abuser - is a celebrated member of the public, even allowed to sing at Nelson Mandella's B'day celebration whilst a reformed athlete is being subjected to court to plead for his right to compete in a sport that has already punished him

society gone mad, let him run!!

Michael Fasida, London,

How do you plan on stopping doping in the sport if offenders dont have to do the punishment. He knew the consequences when he took the drugs. He's not sorry for taking them, only for being caught. Leave him at home and let those who treat the sport and rules with respect represent their country.

Liam, Hereford,

Dwain Chambers appears twice as muscle-bound as the other runners - presumably because of the illegal drugs he took. While he may no longer take banned drugs he still benefits from their effect, giving him an unfair advantage. It used to be called cheating.

Janet, London ,

Blah, blah, blah.. He done bad, but at least he is clean now. What a lot of people seem to have forgotten is the Dwayne ran for Briton at the last world championships. Additionally look at the other sprinters we have. They are just not up to it. At least with Chambers you think he could get a medal.

Jon, Fleet, Hants

"Chambers's performance on Saturday was remarkable".

So were Ben Johnson's and Florence Griffith Joyner's in Seoul, and Marion Jones' in Sidney. Isn't that why athletes take drugs?

Neither Johnson nor Griffith Joyner was ever allowed to participate in athletic competitions again.

Tom Welsh, Basingstoke,

He did his ban when he was caught for using illegal drugs. He is now clean and should be allowed to compete at the highest level. What is the point in imposing a 2 year ban when really you never intend for him to be allowed to compete openly once he has served his ban? He is clearly one of the best.

Tommy, Cheltenham,

Too much has been said about Chambers. If his competitors were really serious to stop him, they should have beaten him in the trials. Why is he being heckled? Has he not paid enough for his sins?

Chuka, NY,

The spectacular u-turns on the part of athletes who initially supported Chambers and then subsequently jumped the fence to safeguard their own positions is all too predictable. Natural justice is on Chambers side - I predict a rubber stamp this week!

Karen, London,

The truth of the matter is that the others aren't good enough, Chambers was world class before he got caught. He was World Junior Champion in the 100 and 200m's.

Being an athlete is about making your mark when it counts! Follow the US system, where the first 3 to cross the line make the team!
